The Gospel is a clear message proclaiming that Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose again, and lives today. This Jesus lives—seen by many, foretold by Scripture, and reigning as Lord and Christ.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
1 Corinthians 15:3-8 “3 For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;4 and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.6 Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.7 Then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;8 and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to *me* also.”
1 Corinthians 15:20 “20 (But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.”
John 20:1-16 “And on the first [day] of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.2 She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.3 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb.
4 And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb,5 and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in.6 Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying,7 and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by itself.
8 Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed;9 for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among [the] dead.10 The disciples therefore went away again to their own home.11 But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore she wept, she stooped down into the tomb,12 and beholds two angels sitting in white [garments], one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.14 Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.15 Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.16 Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.”
Acts 2:29-36 “29 Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst us unto this day.30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, of the fruit of his loins to set upon his throne;
31 he, seeing [it] before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen corruption.32 This Jesus has God raised up, whereof all *we* are witnesses.33 Having therefore been exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which *ye* behold and hear.
34 For David has not ascended into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand
35 until I have put thine enemies [to be] the footstool of thy feet.36 Let the whole house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him, this Jesus whom *ye* have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
