HE IS RISEN INDEED!

  The Resurrection 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.

(Proverbs 26:4 - 5) The fool is one who doesn’t believe what the Bible correctly exegeted, exposited, and understood teaches. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.
