Rejoice in Emptiness & Easter's Resurrection!

Rejoice Emptiness, Resurrection - Forest with Sun streaming down Single Mom
Rejoice! The tomb is empty!


We exist in a world full of darkness and evil, evil that is deceptive and subtle, transparent yet overlooked and excused, evil we invite into our homes, the bar for Goodness so lowered we fail to recognize evil for what it is, but today...?

Today is different.
Today, Easter Sunday, is a day of Hope, a day of sunshine even among gray clouds, a day to remember THIS is NOT all there is! There is SO. Much. More!

In a fast paced world where we jump at the chance to fill ourselves with more without pausing to consider too deeply what more is, we've forgotten emptiness can be a Good thing.

Today is the day the tomb was found empty, and sometimes emptiness is the result of unexpected miracles worthy of jubilation.

We exist in a world of negative emptiness: empty calories, empty entertainment, empty hearts, empty seats at the dinner table, even empty worship. The word empty seems like it would be bad, but God turns even what we logically associate with bad to be Good by turning the word empty into one of the happiest words Christians can use for today.

The empty tomb is full of Hope, full of Love, full of Promise Fulfilled.

The empty tomb confirms the divine promise of the Resurrection, of life beyond this. The empty tomb tells us without a doubt the Savior lives, that His words of unfailing, unconditional Love ring true. The empty tomb tells you that you are not abandoned, that you are not alone, that you are beautifully and wonderfully made, that you are unique and special and Loved.
