The Resurrection

Jesus’ crucifixion was not the end.

Origin
The New Testament; Mark 16

Story
When Mary Magdalene and two others went to anoint Jesus’ body with spices, they found that the stone to the tomb had been rolled over. When they went into the tomb, there was a young man in a white robe. He told them, “If you are looking for Jesus Christ who was crucified, He has risen from the dead!”

The women ran away, but were too afraid to say anything to anybody. Jesus then appeared to some of His other followers. Thomas was not present, and so he refused to believe until he was able to put his finger in Jesus’ wounds.

Jesus appeared to Thomas and allowed him to do just that. Thomas then believed that Jesus had risen, but Jesus said: “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Moral
God blesses those who have faith without needing to see tangible proof.
