DESCRIPTION
The resurrection proved Christ’s substitutionary sacrifice was fully accepted by his Father. This truth about Easter invites all to trust in Christ.
To the people of the world, Easter means that the perfect plan of salvation has been provided.
The Bible, God’s book, summarizes the “gospel,” which means “good news,” this way: “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures . . . he was buried . . . he rose again on the third day according to the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3–4). God shows his love for us in that “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
