What does it mean that
Jesus was not in the tomb when the women went to find him?
Of course, those in power during Jesus' time dismissed it
as thieves or the disciples somehow grabbing the body during
the night (despite the presence of a number of guards, not
to mention the bolder). We know, however, that it means Jesus
fulfilled the promise He had made to the disciples, and to
us that, although he would die on the cross, he would be resurrected,
and live again in heaven with the Father. He died for us and
our sins, and sits in heaven awaiting the time when we will
walk with him forever. Praise God for these promises and for
the sacrifice he made for us. Remember what love Christ showed
for us, and make sure you show that love to others today and
every day.
