Episode 122: The Promise of the Empty Tomb

CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED! All of us at Highlawn Baptist Church would like to wish all of you a very Happy and Blessed Easter! But that begs the question...why? This world at the best of times is "difficult" to say the least, and if you look at the past year, I would dare say we've all had our difficulty turned up by quite a bit. Yet, we still have the ability to be happy, to be joyful, to rejoice in the Hope that Easter brings because we have an empty tomb to celebrate!

 

Lots of men have been born on earth (only one born of a virgin).

Lots of men have lived life (only one lived a sinless life).

Lots of men have been wrongly accused, unjustly tried, and sentenced to death (only one stood completely silent in the face of His accusers).

Lots of men have been executed (only one brought about earthquakes, a massively tall and thick woven "curtain" to be torn from top to bottom, darkness in the middle of the day, the dead to rise, and unbelievers believe)

Lots of men have been sealed in a tomb...

          ONLY ONE HAS LEFT THAT TOMB!

 

Jesus is alive, the only prophet, the only man, the only human ever claiming to be God that is in fact alive today! That borrowed tomb couldn't hold Jesus, and because our God is alive today, the born again children of God enjoy all the promises associated with a God who holds the very keys of life and death!

Join Pastor Jason as we celebrate Easter Sunday and the Promise of the Empty Tomb!
