Jesus was crucified, died and was buried on the Friday. Saturday passed without event.
But early in the morning on Sunday Jesus’ friends went to his tomb with spices to anoint his body. When they got there, they found the tomb had been opened and there was no body inside. Jesus had left the tomb – he had risen from the dead and was alive!
He came to his disciples and showed them the marks of his crucifixion so that they would be in no doubt that his resurrection was physical, literal and actual.
The disciples who had been frightened and confused were then transformed into the people of faith who would take the message of Christianity to the ends of the earth.
