Yet the book I've been using for Lent's FOCUS of a 40 Day Journey:

"...  greeting reminds us that God's action in raising Jesus is the bottom line of our faith. On the third day, after His crucifixion, Mary Magdalene, Mary, mother of James, and Salmone find Jesus' tomb empty. The love that Jesus proclaims, the love He lives, the love He is, is not defeated by the powers of evil and death. This is breathtakingly good news! No faith could be more tragic, no belief more futile than Christianity without its Risen Lord. ..."

Trevor Hudson goes on to tell us that:
 "The strongest evidence for the Resurrection is the transformed lives of Jesus' disciples."
Truthfully, this entire devotional is worth reading, but I dare not violate copyright by sharing more of his 2 page wonderfully triumphant devotional. This entire book is!

I could not find this devotional but was able to find a few excerpts from his book:
Pauses for Lent: Overcoming Evil
Pauses for Lent: Mountaintop Experiences
Pauses for Lent: Taking a Stand
Of course, Renovaré, shared a few more of these and others.
[by the way, Renovaré is Latin for Renewal; to renew, to restore]
Consider this my "easter" basket gift for you!
