The Mystery of the Empty Tomb – Matthew 28:12-15
The mystery of the empty tomb has led to many attempts to explain it away. But, to the believer, it clearly points to his resurrection.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)
The mystery of the empty tomb has led to many attempts to explain it away. But, to the believer, it clearly points to his resurrection.
Jesus was crucified on Friday and resurrected on Sunday. Where was Jesus during that period between his death an resurrection?
The hope of Israel centers around Jesus the Messiah and what he did. All of the Law, the Prophets and their promises find fulfillment in him.
Central to the Christian faith is the death and resurrection of Jesus. But how significant is the empty tomb? What value is there in it?
Celebrate the empty tomb and risen savior today! Be thankful that his victory over death is ours as well. Death could not keep him, or us.
The doctrine of last things includes the global events preceding Christ’s return, as well as the more personal aspects; what happens to me in the end.
Death has been our common enemy throughout history. But in Jesus resurrection death is defeated. And all who are “in him” will share his victory over death.
The women who went to the tomb on Easter received the best news ever delivered. Jesus was not dead. He had defeated death and risen!
Even though it has been 2000 years since Jesus left, his promise to come back remains. He will return and will gather his elect to himself.
Jesus heading to the cross seemed like defeat. But it was an act of love on his part that brought to us forgiveness of sin and eternal life.
