It’s Tuesday. The Easter celebrations are over. Another work week has begun.
The tomb is still empty.
Soon, another week, another month, another year will pass.
But the tomb is still empty.
In this upcoming year you may face trials in many forms, from sickness to family issues. The loss of a job. Perhaps even the death of someone close.
Yet no matter what trials you face this year and the ones to come, the tomb is still empty.
And because it’s empty, we know that Jesus defeated death and sin. He and the Father prepared the perfect plan of salvation because He knew what would happen in the Garden of Eden before it did, and He knew we could never follow the laws given to Moses.
We could never produce the perfect sacrifice to save ourselves.
But He could. And He did.
Because of Jesus—His death, burial, and the empty tomb—salvation has come to us all, and we can shout “hosanna” like the crowds upon Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem.
Matthew 21:9
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
Until next time, dear friends, the tomb is still empty, and He is still risen! He is risen indeed! Hosanna!
Mary
