Jesus’ died for the forgiveness of sins! Understanding the significance of Christ’s death on the Cross explains why the Easter holiday is so important for Christians. The death and resurrection of Christ open a door to God’s presence, which was previously unattainable. After marking the sorrows of Good Friday, the jubilation of the empty tomb can hardly be contained!

Muslims are taught to believe that Jesus was not crucified. The Quran states, "They neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so." Christians, based on historical evidence, testify that Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead on the third day. The whole of history and faith revolves around the historical Jesus, the Son of God in flesh, who paid the ultimate sacrifice so people could receive forgiveness of sin and assurance of salvation.
