He is not here! He has risen. Indeed the tomb is empty and the Lord is alive! It was the day of transformation for the followers of Jesus. It was the day they changed from a fearful band of disappointed men and women into the army of God that marched across the world with the Good News. He loves us enough to die for us. He is powerful enough to defeat death. He offers new life to you, too.
How can you be sure? Well look in the tomb. It is empty. He is not here! He has risen.
I know that an empty tomb today is not proof of something that did or did not happen 2000 years ago.I know that we cannot be positive we know which is the correct tomb. But the afternoon I looked into the garden tomb, my heart leapt for joy as I shouted, much as Peter and John must have shouted. “It is empty! He is not here!
You can visit the tomb of almost every other religious leader, founder, prophet, etc., but when you get to the tomb of Jesus, IT IS EMPTY! Praise God.
Happy Resurrection Morning.
