Why Seek Ye the Living Among the Dead?

Christians don’t gather on Easter merely to remember that Jesus died; we gather because He died and rose again. If He only died, He might be admired or respected, but if He rose, He must be believed, worshiped, and obeyed. On that first resurrection morning, no one expected Him to be alive. The women came with spices, the disciples were confused, and the world assumed the story was over. But heaven declared otherwise: “He is not here, but is risen.” From that moment, the resurrection demanded a response, and people are still responding to the empty tomb today.
