Tomb Still Empty

   One week later and the tomb is still empty. Yes, He must be risen. And if He is risen that means all that he said while He was here is true. He is the God-man. He is returning someday for those who are His. He said so, and since He is risen, He did  not tell a falsehood.
    The cross also is empty. They took Him down and they put Him in the tomb. And the tomb now is empty as I have said.
    And that makes all the difference in the world.

Easter is not bunnies

  Easter is not eggs and bunny rabbits. It is something else. It is the day Jesus rose from the dead, conquering death, and the tomb is empty. Death couldn't hold Him. And that is what we celebrate at Easter.
   Sure, for the kids you have an egg hunt, but that is not the meaning of Easter.As the angel said, He is not here. He is risen.
   And todays sermon at church, yes, there is even a servikce this evening on Saturday, given by Daryl, was made more powerful because we serve a risen savior.
