He is risen.
Two thousand years ago, Roman soldiers began their morning by discovering an empty tomb. In that moment, their entire understanding of life and death was confronted. People do not come back to life… do they? And yet, Jesus did. He said He would, and the tomb was empty. Could He really have been the Son of the one true God? It certainly seemed so.
Jesus Christ truly came to earth as a humble baby. He lived an ordinary life as the son of a carpenter until His baptism at 30 years old. In the three years that followed, He changed the world forever—fulfilling the covenant and making it possible for mankind to be in relationship with God again. No middleman. No animal sacrifices. Just God and us.
He came for the broken, the lost, and the undeserving. He saw people exactly as they were and still chose them at their worst. It is His sacrificial life, His betrayal, His brutal crucifixion, and His resurrection that give us hope today. God still sees us. God still desires our hearts.
Grace became possible two thousand years ago, when a guarded tomb was found empty by the power of God. Praise God—He is risen.
