Christ the Victor (Mark 16:1-6)

Easter Sunday, or Resurrection Sunday, is the day on the church calendar when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  After suffering torture and death on the cross for our sins, he was laid in the tomb, and on the third day he rose from the dead, just as he told his disciples he would.  If it weren't for the resurrection, Paul tells us, our faith is in vain, because we do not have the promise of eternal life in Christ Jesus.  Yet two thousand years later Christ is still winning victories in peoples' lives - people like me, and perhaps like you as well.
