“And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see,” (Luke 24:24).

There was a city where a building wall collapsed because the foundation caved into an empty tomb; it was unknown and hidden when they built it.

Now if the men intentionally built a building with a hole as a foundation they would be fools.  When we look at God and His ability to “hang the earth upon nothing,” we think differently.

The church, as we know it, has a foundation that is, in fact, the empty tomb.  If His tomb hadn’t been emptied, there wouldn’t have been any hope.  The empty tomb gives us assurance that Jesus is who He said He is.

Jesus “was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead,” (Romans 1:4).  The empty tomb is proof of acceptance of Jesus’ sacrifice for all mankind (Romans 5:18).

The empty tomb means death is defeated.  There is now no death for those who are in Christ Jesus!

“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ,” (1 Corinthians 15:51-57).

Because of the empty tomb, you and I, by faith in Him, have life today and life forever.  He is Risen!
