Easter is known to every Christian, and it originated from the Lord Jesus’ resurrection and ascension three days after His crucifixion. Christians observe the feast of Easter to commemorate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, so Easter occurs between March 22 and April 25 each year. In this year, Easter Day is on April 16. When you are celebrating this feast, however, do you know why the Lord Jesus was resurrected three days after His death? And why did He appear to many people after His resurrection?
For example, the Lord Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, to other women, to Peter, to James, to Thomas, to the two disciples on the way to Emmaus and to other disciples…. Moreover, He spoke with the disciples, ate fish, and told Thomas to touch the nail marks on His hands. As it is written, “And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have you here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them” (Luke 24:41-43).
