Each Easter we participate with the world in the observance of the resurrection of the Christ. Christianity has taken over Easter and applied it to the resurrection. Yet in spite of that, many Christians today still do not accept the resurrection as a fact, but the true Christian concept is that Jesus died an the cross. His body was carefully and tenderly placed in the tomb, and while it lay there, his immortal personal spirit went, as Peter said, and preached to the spirits in prison which were disobedient in the days of Noah.
On the third day after the crucifixion his spirit re-entered the body and the glorified Christ came forth from the tomb once again a personage of spirit and flesh, no mare subject to death. The resurrection was so real that he could eat food and be handled and felt.
So as we celebrate Easter, let us recall, if we will, that to us Jesus is the Christ. He had power over death. He is the author of the resurrection; and as he was resurrected, so all other human beings will be resurrected in their own time and according to their obedience to the gospel while here.
