Bible Verses for Easter

World English Bible

Easter is the central event of the Christian faith โ€” the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Without Easter, Paul writes, "our faith is futile" (1 Corinthians 15:17). But because of the empty tomb, everything changes: sin, death, and despair are defeated.

These Bible verses for Easter span the crucifixion, resurrection, and their meaning for every believer. They are perfect for Easter Sunday services, family readings, and personal reflection on the hope that the resurrection brings to every area of life.
