On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.
In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:
‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”
Then they remembered his words. Luke 24:1-8

The women did not find the body of Jesus in the tomb. The tomb was empty.

Empty.

No matter how many times we hear the story it doesn’t get old. It’s what separates Christianity from all the religions of the world: an empty grave.

He said He would rise from the dead (Luke 18:33). He rose from the dead (Luke 24:3). Now He asks us to believe that fact (Romans 10:9-10).

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is powerful in the life of the Believer. Phillipians 3:10-11 sthe Apostle Paul stated that “I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.”

The power of the cross and the resurrection isn’t reserved for one Sunday in early Spring each year.

No, that resurrection power is available to us all, every day.
