Join Anne Graham Lotz as we, together, celebrate Easter week:

The Tomb Was Empty!

"Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living."

~ Romans 4:9



"Early Sunday morning, in the inky blackness before dawn, soldiers stood guard over Christ's tomb. Knowing that to go to sleep on duty was an offense punishable by death, the highly trained unit remained alert. Some may have been rolling dice or stoking the fire to keep warm, but there was no questions that all were awake and on duty. Their lives depended on it.

" Suddenly, 'there was a violent earthquake.' If, by chance, the soldiers had been  distracted in their night watch, God now had their undivided attention! Almost simultaneously, the predawn darkness was split by a light so brilliant it looked like a laser of lightning! The 'lightning' took the shape of any angel who seemed to reach from heaven to earth. Against the inky blackness of the night the terrifyingly awesome being fearlessly descended, walked over to the stone that blocked the tomb's entrance, flicked away as though it were dust, and then sat on it! And the gaping hole where the stone had been, revealed there was nothing inside the tomb! The tomb was empty!
