He is Risen! He is Risen, Indeed!
Luke 24
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”
The empty cross stands as a reminder to us that death can't hold our Savior and the instrument of death becomes a symbol of life - victory through Jesus over death and the devil.
We rejoice this Easter in the way He paid our debt in full and defeated death once and for all on Easter morning.
“For God so loved the world,[a]
that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
