A Truth

“but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb  
and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. 
They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”  
At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. 
“Woman,” he said, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” 
Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 
Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ 
Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her"
John 20:11-18
The resurrection. Without the resurrection from the dead, Jesus is nothing more than a good man, at worst; a prophet at best.
Jesus is, however more, He is God incarnate.  God in the flesh.
 God in His love for mankind took a small portion of His infiniteness and came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ.
Jesus lived a sinless life and died a sinner’s death, falsely accused for our sins.  He descended into hell and rose again conquering sin and death, something only God can do.
C.S. Lewis said,
“He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less.”
This is the cornerstone of Christianity Christ dying for us. Again as C.S. Lewis said,
“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.” 
                                            C.S. Lewis.
Christ showed that love for us in a way by doing what man knows as the ultimate sacrifice giving up his life that we may have eternal life.
