What are good Bible verses for Easter?

Question

Accepted Answer

Easter rests on one claim: the tomb was empty. These passages carry the wonder of the resurrection and the hope it gives. Matthew 28:5-6: “The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4: “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,” John 11:25-26: “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”” Luke 24:6-7: “He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”” Romans 6:9: “knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!” 1 Peter 1:3: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” Isaiah 53:5: “But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.” John 20:29: “Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.””
