EASTER: Why I Believe in Jesus’ Resurrection

-
The resurrection of Jesus is the Christian belief that God raised Jesus after his crucifixion as first of the dead, starting his exalted life as Christ and Lord. Jesus Christ rose from the dead on Easter Sunday after his Redemption of mankind on the Cross.
Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb on the third day after his crucifixion.
