Matthew 28:1-10: Alive, Just as He Said

The only hope for forgiven sin and eternal life is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  In 1 Corinthians  15:3-7, Paul said it like this:

³ For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, ⁴ that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, ⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. ⁶ Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. ⁷ Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
