Gardener in the Bible - a Christian perspective
When Jesus' followers went to his tomb on Easter morning, they were startled to find it empty. Jesus himself appeared to Mary outside the tomb, but she initially didn't recognize him, thinking he was the gardener.

Linen in the Bible - a Christian perspective
The disciples who went to Jesus' tomb found only empty linen--the grave-clothes that had contained Jesus' body were empty, neatly folded and left in the tomb. Jesus was alive, and gone from the tomb.

Destroy this temple - a Christian perspective
Jesus predicted his own death and resurrection well before they took place. He often couched his prophesies in parables or metaphors. Here, he describes himself as a temple that, when destroyed, will be rebuilt again three days later.

Rise again - a Christian perspective
Jesus himself predicted his betrayal, death, and resurrection. But even though they heard Jesus' words, the disciples didn't truly grasp what he meant; and when Jesus' crucifixion took place, they were as bewildered and terrified as everybody else.

Alive - a Christian perspective
In the days immediately following the Resurrection, it was difficult for Christ's disciples to believe that he was actually alive. Despite having heard Christ predict his own death and resurrection, they were still amazed and confounded by reports of the empty tomb.
