John 14:1
Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
When your heart is troubled, it can weigh you down. And that’s why before Jesus was crucified, He encouraged His disciples to hold onto what mattered most, so they wouldn’t give in to despair. He knew hard moments were coming, but He also knew where real peace was found. Not in perfect circumstances, but in trusting Him.

Matthew 28:5-6
But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where he lay.”
Jesus said a lot of things before He was crucified. And one of those things was that He would not only die, but that He would be raised to life again. Yet His disciples didn’t fully understand how that could happen. So instead of waiting at the tomb, they hid in an upper room. But they learned quickly that when Jesus says something, He means it.

John 20:17
Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'”
Sorrow to joy. That’s what Mary Magdalene experienced when she saw the risen Jesus. And Jesus didn’t want that joy to stay with her, He wanted all of His disciples to share in it. So, He gave her a message to carry; the good news that He was alive.

Luke 24:5-6
Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.
The women came to the tomb expecting one thing… but found something completely different. They expected the tomb to be sealed, but it was open. They expected a body, but it was gone. They expected soldiers, but instead, there was an angel. And in that moment, what looked like the end was actually just the beginning.

Mark 16:6
“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.”
It was one of those ‘you have to see it to believe it,’ kind of a moment for the women who came to the tomb on Sunday morning. They were wondering who would help them roll the stone away. But what they found out through an angel was that the tomb was already empty. Because the Savior of the world had done the impossible: He had overcome death.

John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
Lazarus was dead. Not mostly dead—completely dead. In fact, he had already been in the tomb for four days. He was wrapped in burial cloths, placed inside the tomb, and the stone had been rolled across the entrance. As far as everyone was concerned, the story was over. But Jesus knew something no one else did. He had the power over life and death, and He was about to reveal it in a miraculous way.
