Jesus rose to keep his promise. He promised to rise from the dead. He did it. He promised to be the source of life. He is. "Anyone that believes in Me will live." He rose to take out the doubt. The doubt takes away certainty. Doubt takes away enthusiasm. He arose to end death. Death that separates us from God. Death that destroys. Jesus rose to give us a second chance, a second chance at life. Living apart from Jesus you cannot become the person you were meant to be. His rising was witnessed by hundreds.
