The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal God made manifest in the flesh, who was then crucified, died and rose again from the dead. An empty tomb, a risen saviour, a living saviour. This, the whole gospel, the whole seal of salvation was that he is not dead but alive. He is not in the tomb, he is risen. He is not on the cross as portrayed so often in the Roman Catholic Church with a figure upon a cross. He is not on the cross. He is not in the tomb. He is in heaven. He is not dead. He is alive. And that is the message of the gospel, the message that Peter would set forth.
