Resurrection

Resurrection is the April 2020 issue of Christian Standard, a print issue centered on the death, burial, resurrection, and living hope of Jesus Christ. Built around eyewitness-focused reflections and biblical retellings, this issue explores the resurrection story through the people who saw its darkness, grief, surprise, and transforming power up close.

The issue’s main feature package follows key figures connected to the crucifixion and resurrection, including the angels at the tomb, the guards, Cleopas, Thomas, Judas, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, Mary Magdalene, the apostle John, and Simon Peter. Through these portraits, the issue highlights themes of hope, testimony, repentance, restoration, love, and faith rooted in the risen Christ. The resurrection is presented not as an abstract doctrine alone, but as the turning point that changed lives and continues to shape discipleship.

Alongside these features, the issue includes ministry and church content on Resurrection Sunday, women at the resurrection and in the church today, practical evangelistic invitation around Easter, and a missionary story decades in the making. The issue also marks the incorporation of The Lookout Bible study section into Christian Standard, reinforcing the magazine’s focus on Scripture and spiritual growth.

For readers researching Resurrection, this April 2020 issue offers a rich, Bible-centered snapshot of Christian Standard’s focus on Easter hope, eyewitness faith, and the life-changing power of the risen Jesus.
