The tomb was empty on Sunday morning. The women went to the tomb just after sunrise to deal with a dead body, but found an empty tomb. They were confused and terrified by the sight of the angel, but right there in front of them was the indisputably empty tomb. They didn't fully understand it but the empty tomb equaled hope.
There are lots of twists and turns in our lives that we don't understand. There are things in the Bible that we don't understand, but the empty tomb is right in front of us. Hope even though life is still confusing and filled with the unexpected. And then we more fully understand that the empty tomb means Jesus is alive and eagerly at work in our lives. His daily healing, forgiveness, wisdom and strength bring us overflowing HOPE.
Friends, Jesus is alive!
