Christ Jesus.. has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light..      2 Timothy 1:10

“We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.  He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.” 

Jesus of Nazareth – Luke 18:31-33

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost…

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead.. 

1 Corinthians 15:17-20

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  In his great mercy he has given us new birth
into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead..
1 Peter 1:3
