"Jesus is Risen" is the central truth of the Christian faith, celebrating His resurrection from the dead on the third day after His crucifixion. Here's a biblical explanation with references:

1. Jesus Foretold His Resurrection

Jesus told His disciples multiple times that He would suffer, die, and rise again.

Matthew 16:21 (NKJV):

From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things... and be killed, and be raised the third day.

2. The Resurrection Fulfills Prophecy

Jesus' resurrection was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.

Isaiah 53:10-11 (NKJV):

When You make His soul an offering for sin... He shall prolong His days… By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many.

3. The Resurrection Happened

The Gospels record the event of the resurrection in detail.

Matthew 28:5–6 (NKJV):

But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”

Mark 16:6 (NKJV):

“He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.”

Luke 24:6–7 (NKJV):

“He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you...”

4. Jesus Appeared After the Resurrection

Jesus appeared to many after He rose, proving He was alive.

1 Corinthians 15:3–6 (NKJV):

Christ died for our sins… He was buried, and… rose again the third day… He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once.

5. The Resurrection Brings Life

Because Jesus rose, all who believe in Him have eternal life.

John 11:25–26 (NKJV):

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live."

Romans 6:9 (NKJV):

Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

Summary:

"Jesus is Risen" means that Jesus conquered death, fulfilled prophecy, and offers eternal life to all who believe. His resurrection is the foundation of Christian hope.

What Happened Between Jesus’ Death and Resurrection?

(Theological and Scriptural View)

1. Jesus Truly Died

On the cross, Jesus gave up His spirit and died a real human death (Luke 23:46, John 19:30).
Bangla:
যীশু প্রকৃতপক্ষে ক্রুশে মৃত্যুবরণ করেন এবং তাঁর আত্মা পিতার হাতে সমর্পণ করেন (লূক ২৩:৪৬, যোহন ১৯:৩০)।

2. His Body Was in the Tomb

His lifeless body was laid in a tomb provided by Joseph of Arimathea.
Bangla:
যীশুর মৃতদেহটি আরিমাথিয়ার যোশেফের দেওয়া কবরে রাখা হয় (লূক ২৩:৫০-৫৬)।

3. His Spirit Descended to the Place of the Dead (Sheol/Hades)

The Bible indicates that Jesus descended to the realm of the dead to proclaim victory and possibly free the righteous who died before Him.

1 Peter 3:18-19

Ephesians 4:9

Bangla:
বাইবেল অনুযায়ী, যীশুর আত্মা মৃত্যুর জগতে (শিয়োল/হেডিস) নামেন, যেখানে তিনি বিজয়ের ঘোষণা দেন এবং পুরাতন ন্যায়বানদের মুক্ত করেন বলে বিশ্বাস করা হয়।

১ পেত্র ৩:১৮-১৯

ইফিষীয় ৪:৯

4. Jesus Fulfilled Prophecy

Jesus had said He would rise after three days (Matthew 12:40). His time in the tomb fulfilled this prophecy.
Bangla:
যীশু বলেছিলেন, তিনি তিন দিনের মধ্যে পুনরুত্থিত হবেন (মথি ১২:৪০)। কবরের সময়কাল এই ভবিষ্যদ্বাণীর পূর্ণতা ঘটায়।

5. Victory Over Death and Hell

By entering the realm of death and rising again, Jesus defeated the power of death, sin, and Satan.

Revelation 1:18

1 Corinthians 15:55–57

Bangla:
মৃত্যুর জগতে প্রবেশ করে এবং পুনরুত্থানের মাধ্যমে, যীশু মৃত্যু, পাপ ও শয়তানের শক্তির উপর চূড়ান্ত বিজয় অর্জন করেন।

What is the Crucifixion?

The Crucifixion was the method by which Jesus Christ was executed—by being nailed to a wooden cross. It is central to the Christian faith because through it, Jesus willingly died to take the punishment for the sins of the world.

1. Fulfillment of Prophecy

The Crucifixion was not a random event; it fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about the suffering of the Messiah.

Isaiah 53:5 (NIV):
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities..."
যিশাইয় ৫৩:৫ (BBS):
"কিন্তু তিনি আমাদের অপরাধের জন্য বিদ্ধ হয়েছিলেন, আমাদের দোষের জন্য চূর্ণ হয়েছিলেন..."

2. Jesus' Willing Sacrifice

Jesus chose to lay down His life.

John 10:17–18 (NIV):
"I lay down my life—only to take it up again... No one takes it from me..."
যোহন ১০:১৭–১৮ (BBS):
"আমি নিজের প্রাণ দিই... কেউ তা আমার কাছ থেকে কেড়ে নেয় না..."

3. The Crucifixion Event

Jesus was mocked, beaten, and crucified between two criminals.

Luke 23:33 (NIV):
"They crucified him there, along with the criminals..."
লূক ২৩:৩৩ (BBS):
"তারা... তাঁকে ক্রুশে বিদ্ধ করল, এবং দুই অপরাধীকেও..."

4. Jesus Took Our Sin

He became a substitute, taking the penalty we deserved.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV):
"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us..."
২ করিন্থীয় ৫:২১ (BBS):
"যিনি পাপ জানতেন না, তাঁকেই ঈশ্বর আমাদের পাপের জন্য পাপ করলেন..."

5. His Last Words

His final words signified the completion of His mission.

John 19:30 (NIV):
"Jesus said, 'It is finished.'..."
যোহন ১৯:৩০ (BBS):
"যীশু বললেন, ‘সম্পন্ন হয়েছে।’..."

6. Result of the Crucifixion

Through the Cross, we receive:

Forgiveness of sins
Colossians 1:14 – “In Him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

Peace with God
Romans 5:1 – “Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God...”

Eternal life
John 3:16 – “Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Analysis of Colossians 1:10

Verse (Colossians 1:10, NIV):
"So that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God."

Key Themes & Meaning

Living Worthy of the Lord

Paul encourages believers to live in a way that reflects Christ’s character.

This means aligning actions, thoughts, and decisions with God’s will.

Pleasing God in Every Way

True faith isn’t just about belief but also about living in obedience.

A Christ-centered life involves both faith and action.

Bearing Fruit in Every Good Work

Spiritual growth is demonstrated through good works—acts of love, kindness, and righteousness.

Similar to Jesus’ teaching in John 15:5, where believers are called to bear spiritual fruit.

Growing in the Knowledge of God

A continuous process of learning, studying, and experiencing God.

Not just intellectual knowledge, but a deep, personal relationship with Him.

Application

Live intentionally, seeking to glorify God in daily actions.

Engage in good works as a natural outflow of faith.

Stay rooted in Scripture and prayer to grow spiritually.
