The Testimony of the Tomb

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the single distinguishing element which separates Christianity from all world religions. No other religious leader had an answer for physical and spiritual death. Jesus fulfilled the Father’s assignment to die as the substitute for sinners on the cross. He cried out, “It is finished!” The Resurrection was the Father’s way of declaring, “Amen, My Son! It is finished indeed!” The empty tomb testifies of Jesus’ victory over death, sin, and hell. We also need to live in such a way that the testimony of the empty tomb flows forth from our lips and our daily lives. Resurrection is the ultimate victory…and the greatest need of all mankind.
