Easter in the Bible

Easter is when Christians celebrate Jesus coming back to life after being buried, according to events in the Holy Bible. In the Book of Luke, women come to tend Jesus’ body and find his tomb empty three days after his crucifixion (Luke 24: 2). All Jesus’ disciples are amazed, as they had expected Jesus to be dead (Luke 24:12).

Matthew’s account of the same story has Jesus meet the disciples on the road immediately following the discovery of the empty tomb (Matthew 28:8). Jesus tells the disciples in John’s version that he has ascended to the Father (John 20:17).

“Ascend” simply means being lifted up to God for a new life in heaven. “Resurrection,” or rising from the dead, has a similar meaning. Christians believe that all who believe in Jesus will ascend into heaven as Jesus does in the Bible. Easter is the day when Christians celebrate Jesus’ eternal life, and their own by believing in him.
