tomb6

Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, foran angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.Ā  His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.Ā  And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.Ā  But the angel said to the women, ā€œDo not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. Ā He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Ā Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.ā€Ā  So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Ā And behold, Jesus met them and said, ā€œGreetings!ā€ And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Ā Then Jesus said to them, ā€œDo not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me,ā€ (Matthew 28:1-10, ESV).

We at Caffeinated Thoughts would like to wish you and your family a very Happy Easter as you take time (as we should every day) to celebrate the empty tomb, that Christ has been raised, death has been defeated and our sins forgiven.
