Today Christians celebrate the most important holiday of the faith, Easter. Without the Resurrection of Christ, the Christian faith would hold little meaning. C.S. Lewis wrote about the Resurrection in God in the Dock:

Something perfectly new in the history of the Universe had happened. Christ had defeated death. The door which had always been locked had for the very first time been opened.

By defeating death, Christ has opened the door to all who follow and believe in him to do the same. And due to this, Easter is our hope, our believe, and our faith. If Christ had not risen from the grave, the Apostle Paul tells us that our faith is useless (1 Corinthians 15:17) and that if we have hope in Christ only for this life, we are the most miserable people in the world. (1 Corinthians 15:19) But Christ did rise from the dead. And through the resurrection of Christ death no longer holds any sting.
