Listen to a joyous story!

Men of Israel, listen to these words: This Jesus of Nazarene was a man pointed out to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did among you through Him, just as you yourselves know. Though He was delivered up according to God's determined plan and foreknowledge, you used lawless people to nail Him to a cross and kill him. God raised Him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.

For David says of him:
"I saw the Lord ever before me;
because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart was glad,
and my tongue rejoiced.
Moreover my flesh will rest in hope,
because You will not leave my soul in Hades,
or allow Your Holy One to see decay.
You have revealed the paths of life to me;
You will fill me with gladness in your presence."

Acts 2:22-28
