Spoiler Alert

He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as He said would happen. Come, see where His body was lying.
Matthew 28:6 
What would you think if you came to visit the grave of someone you loved only to find the grave not only open, but empty as well?  Once your recovered from the initial shock and outrage, what would you do?  Suppose a caretaker was there and told you that your loved one had risen from the grave?  Given that the Walking Dead has become such a popular show, perhaps your thoughts would go toward the idea that your loved one is now a zombie.
Well, Jesus isn't a zombie, but He did rise from His grave.  So what's the big deal about Jesus leaving His grave?  Because it proves that Jesus defeated Death itself!  And because we are His brothers and sisters, forgiven, adopted children of God, we will also follow Christ's example and defeat death as well when Jesus returns to call us to Himself.
The Spoiler Alert is simple, Jesus, who had died on the cross, got up from His grave and lives again.  And He has claimed those who choose to believe.  So in the end, Jesus wins and the Pit Dweller loses.
