No one likes to go to tombs; dead places. But the miracle of Resurrection Sunday is that confronting death can result in experiencing new life. New life can only be discovered when we press past our fears and dare to go to the tomb. As much as we fear the tomb, we must face the tomb in order to encounter the Good News of a resurrected Christ.
In a death-filled cemetery, here is what the women found at the tomb of Jesus on the first Resurrection Sunday morning:
Consider Luke 24: 1-8, ESV
A removed stone
The presence of GOD's divine Agency
A provocative question - why are looking for the living among the dead?
A confirmation that Jesus will do what He says He will do
There are circumstances, crowds and conditions that will seek to silence our ability to praise God, but Disciples always find a reason to offer God praise despite the opposition of outside detractors and distractions; and at a time like this legitimate disappointments.
