Congressman Riley M. Moore released the following statement:
For Christians, Easter is not just another holiday. It is the central event of history: the day death was defeated, and the stone was rolled away.
In Jerusalem, in 33 AD, there was a violent earthquake. An angel rolled back the stone from Jesus’ tomb and said to the women gathered there: “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said.” In that moment, everything changed. The Son of God won victory over death and secured salvation for all mankind.
