The Promise of Easter

The morning was still dark when they made their way to the tomb. Their hearts were heavy with grief, their spirits crushed by the weight of all they had witnessed. The stone, the soldiers, the sealed tomb—all final barriers between them and their beloved Teacher.

But God had other plans.


What happened that morning changed everything—not just for those faithful women, but for all humanity. The stone rolled away revealed more than an empty tomb; it unveiled God's ultimate promise fulfilled.


In my forty years of ministry, I've seen how the resurrection power works in our everyday lives. When the doctor delivers a devastating diagnosis... when the marriage seems beyond repair... when the prodigal child seems too far gone... Easter reminds us that no situation lies beyond the redemptive power of our God.


The empty tomb isn't just history—it's our present hope and future promise.


"I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth."

Job 19:25
