But we don’t have to wait until we die or Jesus returns to experience resurrection life. We live now as those who belong to the new age.

People Saw Him Alive. The Bible records that the first people to see that Jesus had risen from the dead were women. The fact that followers of Jesus claim that the first witness to the living Jesus were women is, perhaps surprisingly, evidence that the account is true.
