Matthew 28: 1-3;5,6“... as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdelene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. “And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. “His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. “And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. “He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.” “It is the apex of our hope: It is the crown jewel of our faith in God. The validation of every claim he ever made, The unanswerable demonstration of the profoundest fact concerning the God-ship of Jesus of Nazareth is this: ‘He is not here.....he is risen, as he said.’”---Rod Parsley
