What is Easter all about?
The Bible answers that question. It tells the story of Jesus: how he came into our world, how he lived, his friendships, his teachings, his miracles, his love for people, and his hopeful offer of life, abundant life, everlasting life.
The Bible provides a vivid, gripping account of Jesus’ life. It includes information that was provided by his closest friends.
