Amidst the darkness of the crucifixion story, the promise of new life in Jesus sprang forth. In this lesson, the truth of Christ’s victory became known first to His closest followers and then was spread throughout the rest of the world.

Jesus’ death and resurrection are what we celebrate during Easter. We celebrate because Jesus helped humanity’s broken relationship with God, and His actions created a way to mend that broken relationship. He became our Savior, taking the penalty of our sins upon Himself. However, we don’t just serve a Savior who willingly died for us - but also rose from the dead! Hallelujah!
