2. Superbowl Sunday: Endless commercial breaks
   Easter Sunday: No commercial interruptions
3. Superbowl Sunday: Half-time show often features a classic rock act that won't go away
   Easter Sunday: The stone was rolled away! Classic!
4. Superbowl Sunday: People will be talking about the outcome for days
   Easter Sunday: People have been talking about the outcome for millenia
5. Superbowl Sunday: Vegas has odds on who will win
   Easter Sunday: We already know who won!

¹ On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. ² They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³ but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. ⁵ In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ⁷ ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” ⁸ Then they remembered his words.
