The women walked sadly to the tomb in the early morning light. They sobbed as they passed the empty crosses, with hearts broken by the death of the one they loved. How could so much have changed in just one week? Only a few days before, crowds had cheered and called Jesus the King. Then they yelled, "Crucify him!" to Pilate. And so, Pilate had his soldiers beat Jesus beyond recognition. Then, he was led up the hill outside the city and nailed to a cross, left to die between two sinners, this holy one of God who knew no sin.
What a surprise awaited the women! The tomb was empty.
"He is not here," they were told, "he is risen!"
And so, we serve a risen Savior. He has paid the penalty for you and for me,
so that we do not have to die. Because he lives, we, too, will live.
Thank you, Jesus...
Son of God...
Savior.
