The reason why we have life is because Jesus lives on the inside of us this Easter Sunday take time to reflect that Jesus is risen he conquered death and the grave he got up with all power in his hands. The women disciples who come to the tomb on Easter morning find it empty. They encounter not a dead body, as they expected, but astonishingly an empty tomb and a living Lord whom they can see, hear and touch (Matt 28:9; Jn 20:16-17). They bear witness to the reality and tangibility of the resurrection. In affirming the body, the resurrection also affirms the whole of creation. In his rising from the dead, Christ is the ‘first-born of all creation’ (Col 1:15)
“You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. But he has risen! He is not here! See the place where they had put him.
Then they looked up and saw that the stone had been rolled away. The stone was very large. They entered the tomb. As they did, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe. He was sitting on the right side. They were alarmed.
“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. But he has risen! He is not here! See the place where they had put him. Go! Tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him. It will be just as he told you.’ ” The women were shaking and confused. They went out and ran away from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
