happy easter :)

"And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep."      
~1 Corinthians 15:17-20

"...But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead..."
in fact--in truth, in reality; there is nothing simply symbolic or imaginary about this resurrection
raised from the dead--death could not contain Chirst
