Jesus was buried in a tomb, and on the third day, some women arrived and were shocked to find the tomb empty.  Two angels appeared to explain that Jesus had risen from the dead. Jesus went on to appear to a number of people, including the disciples. Jesus had risen from death just like he said he would.

Even though everything was bad, God made it good. He can do the same for us when things are bad.
