“The Crucifixion loses its meaning without the Resurrection. Without the
Resurrection the death of Christ was only the heroic death of a noble martyr; with
the Resurrection it is the atoning death the Son of God. It shows that death to
be of sufficient value to cover our sins, for it was the sacrifice of the Son of God.”
(R. A. Torrey, What the Bible Teaches)

“The angels said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.  He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.
Come and see the place where he lay.  Then go quickly and tell his disciples:
“He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.
There you will see him.”  Now I have told you.’ ”
(Matthew 28:5-7)
