The days following Jesus’ crucifixion must have been some of the darkest times for His followers. They had placed all of their hope in Him and now He was dead. They believed that He truly was the Messiah and that through His life, He would change the world. It was not until a woman named Mary went to visit the tomb that hope was restored. The tomb was empty and Jesus had risen! All Mary wanted to do was to hold on to her Savior once she discovered the good news. However, Jesus was not done. He had to go to the Father in heaven and restore all that was broken by sin and make it right for good. Easter is the reminder that because Jesus is alive, we have hope.
