It is Lenten season! And all about Jesus' life, death, and resurrection! Might be a little early to think about His resurrection. Or maybe every day is good to think about His resurrection:

"But when they arrived they looked up and saw that the the stone---a very heavy one---was already moved away and the entrance was open! So they entered the tomb---and there on the right saw a young man clothed in white. The women were startled, but the angel said, 'Don't be so surprised. Aren't you looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who was crucified? He isn't here! He has come back to life! Look, that's where his body was lying. Now go and give the is message to his disciples, including Peter.
"'Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died!'"

~ Mark 16:5 & 7 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "The resurrection is vitally important for many reasons:

1) Jesus kept his promise to rise from the dead, so we can believe he will keep all his other promises;

2) The resurrection ensures that the ruler of God's eternal kingdom will be the living Christ, not just an idea, hope, or dream,

 3) Christ rose from the dead, giving us the assurance that we also will be resurrected,

4) The power of God that brought Christ's body back from the dead is available to us to bring our morally and spiritually dead selves back to life so we can change and grow (1 Corinthians 15:12-19),

5) The resurrection provides the substance of the church's witness to the world. We do not merely tell lessons from the life of a good teacher, we proclaim the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ."
