Today, there are many who are still looking.
Still searching.
Still seeking.
Still yearning.
For an empty place to be filled.
But…
the greatest moment of empty this world has ever known
happened two thousand plus years ago
in a garden tomb where the Son of Man was laid.
Battered. Stripped. Beaten. Pierced. Broken.
Where, on the third day, He walked out of that garden tomb.
The Risen Lord.
His empty tomb has the redemptive power to make us full.
“Empty is the moment before something new.”
Has His empty made you new?

“His empty tomb has the redemptive power to make us full.”
How can anyone live daily without that redemptive power?
