COMMENTARY: Christ's Resurrection Is the Most Significant Event in History

Christos Anesti! Christ has risen!

Aleethos Anesti! Truly He has risen!

These words -- which have been said by millions of Christians on Easter for nearly 2,000 years -- depict the resurrection of Jesus on the third day after He was crucified on Good Friday.

Today we celebrate Easter -- or Pascha as it is called in Greek -- and the resurrection of Christ. Christ's resurrection can be viewed as the most critical element of the Christian faith and theology.

Christ rose from the dead and trampled down death by death, in effect, saving all Christians after they die.

Indeed, the resurrection of Jesus is the most significant event in the entire history of mankind. It is even more significant than any victory in any war, or any conquest -- even Alexander the Great's conquest of all the known world.

How fortunate Christians are to be saved by our Savior. Yes, Christians have celebrated Easter and Christ's resurrection for nearly 2,000 years -- and they will continue to do so ad infinitum.

Christos Anesti! Christ has risen! Glorify Him!
