Jesus grave is empty and He is the first that has resurrected and this is the great happiness of easter and we have to be happy because His death is not in vain. And our faith is not in vain and His resurrection gave us hope. The scripture says, ''And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty'' - 1 Corinthians 15 : 14.
''And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins'' - 1 Corinthians 15 : 17. This is what gave us the redemptive power. We are no more slaves to sin. Therefore, let us believe in this sacrifice which gives us salvation, hope and the guarantee of our faith through Him. After the resurrection, the body of Christ did things that He could'nt do before, such as when He appears suddenly in a room without opening the door, coming out of the grave.
''But someone will say, how are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come? Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain - perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases and to each seed its own body'' - 1 corithians 15 : 35 - 38.
''However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust, the second Man is the Lord from heaven'' - 1 corinthians 15 : 46 - 47.
