The Bible proclaims God to be a God of hope, best seen in Jesus' resurrection. As God, He was crucified to bear the weight of the world's sin. Dying, He went to Hell. On the 3^rd day, He rose from the dead. The Roman soldiers had fortified His tomb, but His dead, broken body, transformed with a Life that could never again die, burst the tomb! He was different, yet recognizable. He ate with His friends who saw Him again, and was hugged by them. One even placed his fingers into the scars of His crucifixion. Jesus was the first to rise from the dead, a hope which all Christians have.
