“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” I Corinthians 15: 3- 4
The cross is empty, the tomb is empty…Jesus is alive, alive forevermore.
Alive and reigning victoriously.
Our hope has a strong foundation, our faith is not futile.
Let us rejoice, let us proclaim: OUR SAVIOR REIGNS!
“We must remember that the cross is just as empty as the tomb, and Christ is now glorified, having completed his work. The truth is, we cannot be truly cross-centered without also being empty-grave-centered! Jesus was not just our Prophet and our Priest – He is our reigning King.
At the cross we learn true humility, our hopeless sinfulness, and our need of God. At the empty tomb we fully appreciate what Christ has achieved for us and receive power to live for Him. A deeper, fuller insight into the truth of Jesus’ resurrection will cause our lives to be radically transformed“
Warnock, Raised With Christ, p. 62
“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11: 25- 26
May our days be filled with the joy and hope that an empty cross and an empty tomb mean, may we believe this and live, and never die!
