The Empty Tomb

I love the empty tomb! I had never really thought much about that before, but today I recognized that I LOVE the empty tomb! The empty tomb means that Jesus is alive and well, and with me. It means that he is greater than death and cannot be defeated by man. He's like the super hero that never dies. Like Superman, without the kryptonite weakness. He is my hero! The one that rescues me over and over. The one that "suddenly" appears when things are at their worse. (Of course he was there all along just waiting on me to call on him.)

His nemesis's are many - greed - control - hate - lust; just to name a few. However, they are powerless against him; as His strength is love -unfailing, undying love! Jesus is definitely my super hero. Yet, he's much more than that - he's my Saviour, who gives me eternal life.

"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know... his incomparable great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is the body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way." Ephesians 1:18-21

My prayer:

God, thank you for the empty tomb, and for your son, Jesus, whom you sent to save me from the nemesis's of the world, my sins. I trust that by my salvation through Jesus Christ, you have saved me though I am not worthy of being saved. Thank you for your unfailing love. In Christ's name I pray. Amen.
