Resurrection Sunday | Empty?

The word “empty” is a complicated word. It is not associated with positive things. In that moment, when Jesus’ followers found the empty tomb – it was not good news, it was confusing, mystifying even frightening. Jesus appeared in His resurrected body to His followers and taught by word and tactile touch, that He was King over the natural and spiritual world they did not understand immediately but were beginning to. Today we celebrate the historical fact of an empty tomb, we celebrate that when people arrived at find the tomb filled with the body of Jesus they found it empty! Resurrection Sunday is called so because it wasn’t just an empty space, HE WAS NOT THERE BECAUSE HE IS ALIVE!
