THE TOMB IS EMPTY: What does it mean for us today?

The empty tomb:

1. Is a symbol of hope
2. Demonstrates the power of unconditional love
3. Reminds us to be patient and allow God to fight our battles for us

The Empty Tomb is a Symbol of Hope
Death is not the end; we too will be resurrected after death. We will be with our Lord forever.
Resurrection is also available for our health. By Jesus’ stripes we are healed. The same power that raised Him from the dead is available to heal our minds, souls and bodies.
We have peace knowing that our Saviour overcame death.
The Empty Tomb Demonstrates the Power of Unconditional Love
Jesus’ unconditional love for us took Him through excruciating whipping, being nailed to a cross, death and burial. But, instead of remaining in the tomb He was resurrected. When we love unconditionally our dead relationships with family and friends are resurrected. Persons experiencing unconditional love flourishes regardless of whether they are the giver or recipient.
The Empty Tomb Reminds Us to Be Patient and Let God Fight Our Battles
Jesus was an exercise of patience during the first Passion Week. His enemies won several battles ending with His burial in a secure tomb and were no doubt celebrating these wins over the weekend. He was arrested, tried, found guilty, beaten, spat upon, sentenced to death on a cross, made to carry His cross, nailed to the cross, died on the cross and buried in a secured tomb. For the rest of us humans the story would have ended there but Sunday morning the war ended and Jesus rose victoriously. When we allow Jesus to fight our battles, we will win the battle that ends the war. We must give Him our problems and let him find the solutions for us no matter how slow He seems. He is always on time.
The empty tomb is our symbol of hope, which demonstrates the power of unconditional love and reminds us to be patient allowing God to fight our battles.
