Spoiler Alert!
Several weeks ago I began seeing some advertising on Instagram for tee’s with this on it:
Spoiler Alert – the tomb was empty!
I like that.
Actually, I love that.
It is the foundational Truth my faith is built on.
We do not have a Redeemer who is in a tomb.
We do not have a Savior whose body is decayed and rotted in grave clothes.
We do not have a Lord with a headstone engraved with, “Here lies Jesus of Nazareth – He fought a good fight – But He died.”
People…we have a King.
Who has a Kingdom.
We have a Groom.
Who is preparing a feast for His bride.
We have a Brother.
Who intercedes on our behalf.
People! THE TOMB WAS EMPTY!
GO!
RUN!
TELL SOMEONE!
JESUS IS ALIVE!
SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF FATHER GOD.
Not only that?
HE IS COMING BACK!
For those who have chosen to follow Him.
For those who have called upon the Name of the Lord and have been saved and redeemed from the wrath of God.
To set His Kingdom on earth.
WHAT?
Sounds far out, doesn’t it?
Sounds surreal, doesn’t it?
Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?
I’M STAKING MY LIFE ON IT. I’m believing the promises.
Ya know what Holy Spirit said to me this morning?
People don’t need tolerance – they need TRUTH.
What the world needs now? It’s not so much love but TRUTH. [And, of course love is good and needed but I’d rather tell someone truth in love, then love (without Truth) them into an eternity of separation from God.]
I just told you THE TRUTH of the matter.
Have a blessed and holy Resurrection weekend.

This week I’ll be linking up with:
Amen, Susan! The world definitely needs some Truth. I’m staking my life on it too!
I’m in good company!!! Thanks, Alyson.
Amen! Thank you for the reminder that this is BIG NEWS and should guide my life (and everything else is just little news).
Anita, truly….IT IS.
Love that meme for a tee or anything else. Blessed Easter week to you!
Sarah, and to you and yours. I admire you so much. (((xo)))
Yes, and Amen!! Truth! Perfect!
XO
Yes. Amen. Glory. Hallelujah. Happy Dance. Ouch.
Amen and Amen!!!
One more? AMEN.
I’ve staked my entire life on this TRUTH and, yes, we must share it. Always! Thank you, Susan.
Kathy
Thank YOU, Kath’….
Staking my life right alongside you, Susan! And I am immersing myself in praise of Him today! HE is our truth!! Alive forevermore!!
I will praise right along with you!!!
Hooraying in my heart over this!
And that image you used reminds me of a good friend who is already in heaven, but when she was here she would scan the sky for big clouds and wonder if the one she was looking at would be like the one Jesus would be coming on.
THAT photo? Is one I kept using upon my mother’s entry within the gates!!!!! It is just plain heavenly! Love you MM.
Isn’t it great to not only know the ending but believe it? There is Hope and all we have to do is believe.
To know it and BELIEVE IT. #priceless
Amen honey, He’s Alive! I’m so excited!
NOT only alive but coming back to take us out of this mess!!!
Dear Susan, I love this! Your energy and excitement about spreading the great news are palpable. Have a most blessed Resurrection Day, Friend!
Alice, the very same to YOU and YOURS.
I want one of those shirts so badly!
“Easter says you can put death in the grave but it won’t stay there.”–Clarence W. Hall
Amen, Mr. Hall!!! Be blessed at your Maundy service!
Susan,
Love the HOPE RAYS in this picture and the HOPE that is alive in Jesus! Great post.
Karen
He is our Living Hope.
Thank you, Lord, for the empty tomb!! Without the tomb being empty – there really is no point!
No point at all. That’s what sets our faith apart!
