On Wednesday night at bible study we watched a DVD about the tomb of Christ and how it was empty when the women came to anoint Him. It occurred to me that this was the most important defference between Christianity and all other religions. Christianity is built on the love of Jesus Christ and the work He did on the cross, and on His resurrection. Jesus Christ lived the law perfectly. He is the only one ever to do so; He never sinned. Not once. When He died on the cross, He took onto Himself the sins of those who are saved: His people. He had been in the tomb for three days when the women came to anoint His body, but He was gone. He came back to life and left the tomb, appearing to others for some time after the fact before ascending into heaven.
No other human being has ever raised himself from the dead. There have been people who were raised from the dead by other people, but never before or since has anyone raised himself. Jesus Christ did, and He did it according to HIS OWN MERIT. He is alive today, living in heaven and reining with God the Father, and is God Himself as part of the trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost). All other religions follow people or spirits or whatever, but in all cases there is a grave, or a place where you can find the one being followed. No grave of Christ will ever be found, because Christ did not stay dead.
When Jesus Christ rose from the dead He defeated death and it's hold over those who are saved. They must pass through death, but it is only a transition phase--they will live again. They will have all eternity to be with God and enjoy Him and His creation; to serve Him and worship Him. Those who are not saved must also pass through death, but the life that awaits them on the other side will be horrible. I would also like to point out that God, the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the only true and living God. It doesn't matter whether or not people believe in Him, He goes on existing just the same. He will always save aside His remnant--His faithful.
