He is Risen!

On the first day of the week, at early dawn, Mary Magdalene,
Joanna and Mary the mother of James came to the tomb bringing
the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled
away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the
body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly
stood near them in dazzling clothing; and as the women were terrified
and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them,
"Why do you seek the living One among the dead? He is not here,
but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still
in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands
of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."
And they remembered His words, and returned from the tomb and
reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. But these
words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them.
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw
the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home, marveling at
what had happened.
