Summary
On the third day Christ rises bodily from the dead, never to die again.
Scripture
Matthew 28 · Mark 16 · Luke 24 · John 20–21
What Happened
The tomb is empty; angels announce the news; the Risen Lord appears to Mary Magdalene, the disciples, and more than five hundred. His risen body is real, glorified, and the foundation of Christian hope.
Why It Matters
The miracle of miracles: faith stands or falls on the truth that God raised Jesus from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:14).
