- The empty tomb isn’t proof of Jesus’ resurrection, it’s a symbol that Jesus has emptied death of its power over humanity. The white-clad figure doesn’t invite the women to look in the tomb and see that it’s empty (they appear to simply take his word for it). Instead, he directs their attention away from the tomb and towards the future.

No viable alternative has been supplied for the whereabouts of the body of Jesus. Though belief in the resurrection is supernatural, the evidence points to an empty tomb, a missing body, multiple eyewitness accounts of a risen Jesus, and many changed lives as a result.
Jesus opens without mentioning a resurrected body. There is no talk of him walking around, appearing to disciples, eating fish, breaking bread, etc. But he clearly states a core component of the resurrection story—that there was an empty tomb. He says that his body “was laid in the tomb,” but that then “my body disappeared.”
Being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross (Philippians 2:5-8). The passage speaks of Christ "emptying Himself." The Greek word for this is kenosis.
