Matthew 28:2-3,5-6 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
[3] His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
[5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
[6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
All this great resurrection power will be ultimately realized when Jesus returns and raises the dead in Christ.
Imagine all those departed saints resurrected from the dead and glorified to live forever with Jesus! (1 Thes. 4:13-18).
What a day that will be just doesn’t do it justice.

“Low in the grave He lay, — Jesus my Savior, — waiting the coming day, — Jesus my Lord!
“Up from the grave He arose; — with a mighty triumph o'er his foes; — He arose a victor from the dark domain, — and he lives forever with his saints to reign. — He arose! — He arose! — Hallelujah! Christ arose!
“Vainly they watch His bed, — Jesus my Savior, — vainly they seal the dead, —. Jesus my Lord!
“Up from the grave He arose; — with a mighty triumph o'er his foes; — He arose a victor from the dark domain, — and he lives forever with his saints to reign. — He arose! — He arose! — Hallelujah! Christ arose!
“Death cannot keep its prey, — Jesus my Savior; — He tore the bars away, — Jesus my Lord!
