John 20:11-18
(IMAG) John 20:11-18, ''But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 Then they said to her, ''Woman, why are you weeping?''

'' 18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.''

And Easter changed everything.
God took the worst possible situation, the death of His Son, and turned it around and used it for good and changed the world.
(IMAG) Romans 5:10. ''For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.''
The purpose of Easter is not for religious people.
