Here we have the risen Lord, conquerer of death. When I was preaching yesterday, I was reminded of Mark 12:27 were Jesus is saying that God is the God of the Living, not the dead. We tend to see things in a carnal, in a human limited point of view. Just to emphasize this Jesus is raised from the dead, and meets his disciples and tells them to spread the good news around the world (and yes, that's for tomorrow's lesson).
I love comics, and superhero's, its great to imagine what it would be like to fly or have other superpowers... but alot of that is based on Greek gods ... think of Wonder Woman as the best example... yet those are false gods, no Greek god rose from the dead. You think of any other 'god' in the world, and none has the claim to rise from the dead, and walk among people, with 500 witnesses.
The resurrection is 'proof in the pudding' it has a solid case, and yet people still try to dismiss it. Without the virgin birth, and without the resurrection the Christian faith would be meaningless.
What a wonderful account we have in the gospels, and what a wonderful savior we have. Reflect on the risen Savior today, and remember the hope we have lies a living God.
