The Resurrection is the greatest event in human history.  Before the Resurrection of Christ Jesus people only speculated about the possibility of coming back to life after the body dies.
<p>
The Hope , Peace and even Joy that the Resurrection made possible is beyond our ability to grasp fully.  The concept of Death is mysterious.  Do we cease to exist?  Do we just pass into a deep sleep?  Do we enter directly into a new existence?
<p>
The Bible tells us some things but there is a lot that can only be spoken of in these terms:
<br>
<br>
 1 Corinthians 2:9 <br><i>
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the Heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that Love him.</i>
