When Jesus defeated death, he dealt with our sin and provided us with unconditional forgiveness. But he also gave us the gift of hope. For if he could overcome death itself, what could he not help us to face? If he could be buried in darkness for three days and the emerge to life, what darkness of ours could he not dispel? Because of Jesus, we can know, and believe, that even after the darkest of nights, joy comes with the morning.
