Happy Easter! Matthew 28:6 "He is not here, for he has risen, as he said."
Yes, happy Easter to everyone!
But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.ESV, 1 Co 15:20–23.
Yes! He is risen...
He is Risen! Have a blessed Easter.
He Is Risen Indeed!
yes TC He is risen indeed!!!

4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Χριστὸς ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν,θανάτῳ θάνατον πατήσας,καὶ τοῖς ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι,ζωὴν χαρισάμενος! (Paschal Troparion; sung in many different languages)
Christus resurrexit a mortuis, Morte mortem calcavit, Et entibus in sepulchris Vitam donavit.
He IS risen! - Wonderful words indeed!!
Suggestions for those who enjoy original language study:
Suggestion 1:
In Logos, search for Passover.Find the word, and right click on it.In the pop up menu, at upper right will be Selection PassoverIn the pop up menu in the left column, click on Bible Word StudyIn the Bible Word Study, there will be two translation rings, one for Hebrew, one for Greek.Click on the translation ring, and it will give the words and all the references for each word given.Suggestion 2: Read / Study all passages.Suggestion 3: Repeat the process above for Easter. (Acts 12:4)
For best results our conclusion about "Easter" will be drawn from studying the actual Word (before turning to opinions and views of others outside of Scripture).
May we do our best to follow Jude 3 "... earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."
Blessings, and Shalom!
Seven Stanzas at Easter
Make no mistake; if He rose at all it was as His body; if the cells’ dissolution did not reverse,the molecules reknit,the amino acids rekindle, the Church will fall.
It was not as the flowers, each soft Spring recurrent; it was not as His Spirit in the mouths and fuddled eyes of the eleven apostles; it was as His flesh: ours.
The same hinged thumbs and toes, the same valved heart that–pierced–died, withered, paused, and then regathered out of enduring might new strength to enclose.
Let us not mock God with metaphor, analogy, sidestepping, transcendence; making of the event a parable, a sign painted in the faded credulity of earlier ages; let us walk through the door.
The stone is rolled back, not papier-mâché,not a stone in a story,but the vast rock of materiality that in the slowgrinding of time will eclipse for each of us the wide light of day.
And if we will have an angel at the tomb,make it a real angel weighty with Max Planck's quanta, vivid with hair,opaque in the dawn light,robed in real linen spun on a definite loom.
Let us not seek to make it less monstrous,for our own convenience, our own sense of beauty, lest, awakened in one unthinkable hour, we are embarrassed by the miracle and crushed by remonstrance.
