Happy Easter! They walked toward the tomb early that morning. Their hope was gone, their dreams had been crushed. As they arrived at that garden tombsite, they realized He was gone. John states that Mary thought someone had taken Him away. Shortly after the realization that Jesus was no longer in the sepulchre, the truth is shared that Jesus had risen from the dead!
No other event in the course of human history even comes close to what happened early in the morning that first Easter. The death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is the defining issue for every single person who has ever lived. No other act has ever been nor will ever be as important as Jesus dying and rising again, for no other act could ever even pretend to give eternal life to all who will believe.
The disciples mourning was turned to laughter. The women, their tears were transformed into joy. The resurrection of Jesus, the good news, is still transforming those who believe!
