Chapter Twenty – THE EMPTY GRAVE
The resurrection is the crux of our faith. If Jesus is not risen, we are still in our sins and Christianity is futile. Everything comes down to His miracle and victory over death.
Let it be said that Jesus is risen!
He first appeared to the women who were going to the tomb. Then to the disciples and over 500 witnesses. Even Thomas who doubted could not deny the reality of His resurrected Lord.
One encounter with Jesus can change your life forever.
There are many who have claimed to be the Messiah, but they are still in the grave. There are many prophets and teachers, but only One Living Hope who conquered the grave. The name of Jesus is above all other names to the glory of God. If you are having a difficult week, let this Scripture sink in deeply.
Because He lives, we can face tomorrow.
This is the good news that makes you want to shout it from the rooftops. Millions of people are online searching if God is real and if God is good. Your neighbors are spiritually confused. You know that Jesus is the answer, and there is a cure for our sin-sick souls. He is risen indeed!
