The Empty Tomb

Yesterday, we celebrated Easter, the celebration of our risen SAVIOR. I heard something on the radio the other day that has brought about today's thought. So, without further ado, I will begin with Today's word...

Today's word is simply, "The empty tomb guarantees that we can be completely filled with the Holy Spirit. The tomb being empty means we can be full."

It is not always a good thing to be empty. I mean, an empty bank account is not a good thing; a pretty common thing, yes, a good thing, no. An empty stomach can certainly be a troublesome thing. An empty wallet isn't a good thing either. However, an empty tomb is a good thing.

Maybe you are walking around today feeling rather empty. Maybe you feel as though you have been spent trying to do the right thing and nothing has worked out. Maybe you feel you have completely exhausted all your resources just trying to get through another day. That emptiness, while not a good thing is the exact reason we can rejoice in the empty tomb.

The tomb being empty means that we can be full. We can rejoice that this is not all there is. The empty tomb means that the best is yet to come. For the Christian, this world is as bad as it is going to be! We can rejoice that the empty tomb fills us to overflowing!

Look, this world has a way of using us up. The everyday grind is enough to wear us down and wear us out. There is enough happening most days to use up the resources we have for a week. When we feel as though we have exhausted all we have and that we are running on empty, we can rejoice in the fulfilling of the Holy Spirit! Thank GOD for the empty tomb!

Be Blessed,
