He Has Risen

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, at sunrise, they came to the tomb, wondering who would roll away the very large stone. Looking up, they saw it was already rolled back.

Entering the tomb, they saw a young man in a white robe and were amazed. He said, "Don't be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him!" He told them to go and tell His disciples, and Peter, that Jesus was going before them into Galilee. The women fled, trembling and astonished.

Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, then to two disciples walking in the country, and then to the eleven. He rebuked their unbelief and said, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation." After speaking with them, the Lord Jesus was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. They went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them.
