The Empty Tomb

Three grieving but faithful women approached the tomb on the first day of the week. As they neared the tomb they began to discuss how they might be able to roll the heavy stone away from the entrance to the tomb so they could put the herbs and spices they had carried on Jesus’ body to preserve it.

Can you smell the herbs? Did the women hear the birds singing, or were they too deep in their grief to notice? Can you feel the women’s surprise when they discovered the stone had already been rolled away from the tomb? Where was Jesus’ body?

“He is not here; he is risen from the dead!” Their surprise must have been almost beyond belief. The news was beyond their wildest imaginings. Feel their excitement and their joy.

Enjoy “Was it a Morning Like This” by Sandi Patty.
