24 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” 8 And they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, 11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
— Luke 24:1-12, English Standard Version
Rejoice, brothers, for our day of victory is here. Our Lord is alive, with a crown of glory and a robe of power, and He stands among us, having conquered Death and Hell itself.
CHRIST IS RISEN!

He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
I know in times like we are living in currently, it’s sometimes hard to remember this. But Christ has already won our most important battle for us!
There will be even tougher times ahead, but we are never alone and Jesus truly is our Rock that will never crumble that we should build our foundations on.
Happy Easter Didact and friends
He is Risen!
