Celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and the conquering of death this Easter. The Easter season is a time to remember the gift of life and freedom bought for us by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and the fulfillment of His promise to rise from the dead.

Read these verses to remember the meaning of the Resurrection and what it means for those who follow the Lord. He is risen!

1 Peter 1:3

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

John 11:25-26

Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”

Romans 5:8

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Luke 24:6-7

He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.

Mark 16:6

But the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body.

1 Corinthians 15:20-21

But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died. So you see, just as death came into the world though a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man.

Romans 6:8-11

And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.

Romans 10:9

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.

John 14:6

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”

John 20:1-2

Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
