Jesus Rises from the Dead

¹ Very early on the first day of the week, at dawn, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.² They found the stone rolled away from the entrance of the tomb,³ but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.⁴ While they were wondering about this, two men in shining clothes suddenly stood beside them.⁵ The women were very afraid and bowed their heads to the ground. The men said to them, "Why are you looking for a living person in this place for the dead?⁶ He is not here; he has risen from the dead. Do you remember what he told you in Galilee?⁷ He said the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people, be crucified, and rise from the dead on the third day."⁸ Then the women remembered what Jesus had said.

⁹ The women left the tomb and told all these things to the eleven apostles and the other followers.¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some other women who told the apostles everything that had happened at the tomb.¹¹ But they did not believe the women, because it sounded like nonsense.¹² But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Bending down and looking in, he saw only the cloth that Jesus' body had been wrapped in. Peter went away to his home, wondering about what had happened.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
