RESOURCE OF THE MONTH
“Alleluia, Christ is risen, He is risen indeed, Alleluia!”
These are familiar words we proclaim on Easter Sunday to tell the world of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the promise of our resurrection. The New Testament is filled with references to the resurrection of our Lord.
But what about Old Testament? Are there references to the resurrection? Did people who lived before Christ have hope in the resurrection? Indeed, they did. God’s promises are equally valid for believers in every time and place.
But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
(Matthew 28:5–6)
