This statue is located at Woodlawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery on Londonderry Road in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The statue depicts Christ looking upward, with his hands extended after his resurrection. On the base of the statue is a verse from the Gospel of Saint John which says, "I am the resurrection and the life."
Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Word of God made flesh. He was born of the Virgin Mary nearly two thousand years ago in the city of Bethlehem. At about 30 years of age, Jesus began preaching, calling men to repentence and to love of God and neighbor. Within three years of his public ministry beginning, Jesus was arrested, scourged, anc crucified. He died on the cross and was laid in a tomb. On the third day, however, He rose from the dead and began appearing to his disciples. He told them to go throughout the word preaching and baptizing. He ascended into heaven and Christians believe that those who believe in Him and follow His commandments will be saved when He comes again to judge the world. Christ's resurrection is described in all four of the Gospels in the New Testament. This resurrection is a central tenant of the Christian faith and the hope of all who die in Christ.
