- Representational of the resurrection is the empty tomb. The actual rising of Christ is not described in the gospels and for many years was not depicted in art. In the darkness of this print we are reminded of Christ's death. Yet the strength of the light—the renewal of life—is most powerful.

Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. From the earliest apostolic period, the reality of the empty tomb—the biblical truth that the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth was found empty by His disciples—has been at the center of the Christian proclamation. All four Gospels describe, to varying degrees, the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the empty tomb (Matthew 28:1–6 ...
The description of these grave clothes emphasizes the meticulous preparation and care taken in handling Jesus’ body. However, when the disciples discovered the empty tomb on the third day, they found the burial cloths lying there but without the body of Jesus (John 20:6-7).
The tomb becomes the place in which we are reminded that death meets life, that the Son is reunited with the Father. And, with the mourning women who are the first witnesses to the empty tomb, we realize Jesus Christ is not here, yet present with us at the dawning of a new day. Scripture References. Luke 24:5b. Job 19:25.

Even the most skeptical, cynical, and unbelieving historians, philosophers, and theologians agree that a man named Jesus died on a Roman cross on Friday and was later buried in a tomb that was empty on Sunday morning. They also agree that countless individuals, both men and women, testified that they saw Jesus alive on multiple occasions after he h...
There is no evidence anywhere in the ancient world that anyone disputed that the tomb of Jesus was empty on Sunday morning, not even those who crucified Jesus. And they were the ones who stood most to gain by simply hauling out the body of Jesus, pointing to it, confirming his identity, and forever putting Christianity in the grave as well. But the...
Some argue that the disciples of Jesus stole the body and created the story that he rose from the dead. However, stealing a dead body is one thing, but how then do you make it appear to be alive? We aren’t dealing merely with the fact that the tomb was empty but also with the fact that hundreds of people testified to seeing Jesus alive with their o...
If the disciples stole the body they obviously knew that Jesus didn’t rise again. And if they knew the resurrection was a myth that they themselves had concocted, why did they so willingly and joyfully endure such persecution and eventual martyrdom? People don’t typically die horrible deaths for something they know isn’t true, unless, of course, th...
Stealing the body cannot account for the radical change in their lives and their willingness to endure horrific oppression and rejection for their beliefs. What did they stand to gain by stealing the body and lying about it? Try to envision this conversation between Peter and the other apostles who suggested that they steal the body and fabricate t...
Perhaps Jesus didn’t even die at all. Maybe he appeared to hundreds of people after the crucifixion because he was still alive when they took him down off the cross.” This is the old “swoon” theory, the idea that Jesus was drugged on the cross and fell into an unconscious state that seemed like death; later, when laid in the tomb, he somehow revive...
Perhaps the alleged appearances of Jesus to his followers were in fact the mass hallucination of people who desperately wanted and needed for Jesus to be alive. But mass hallucinations simply do not happen. It’s one thing for one individual to hallucinate, but for in excess of 500 people to experience the identical hallucination is virtually imposs...
Maybe the Roman authorities themselves removed the body from the tomb. But there are only two reasons to do so. On the one hand, if you wanted to fabricate a resurrection you simply steal the body and claim that Jesus rose from the dead. But that is the last thing in the world the enemies of Christianity wanted to happen. On the other hand, you mig...
Maybe it was dark and the women went to the wrong tomb and finding it empty proclaimed that Jesus had risen from the dead. But if they went to the wrong tomb and used this as the basis for declaring that Jesus had risen from the dead, why didn’t the Roman authorities go to the correct tomb, produce the body, and put an end to Christianity right fro...
So why is it that people reject the resurrection of Jesus from the dead? There are only two possible answers that make any sense at all. The first is that they are atheistic naturalists and do not believe in anything supernatural. God didn’t raise Jesus from the dead because there is no God. And scientific naturalism tells us that Jesus didn’t rise...

Mar 18, 2022 · The empty tomb tells us that the grave could not hold Jesus. That he bodily rose from the grave. Jesus demonstrated his mastery over death and it holds promise for believers as well; that we also will have victory over death.
Jan 1, 2008 · When the women arrived at the tomb, all may have been quiet again, but the stone had been rolled away, the seal had been broken (Mark 16:4; Luke 24:2; John 20:1). What did this mean? For Mary Magdalene it could mean only one thing. Someone had stolen the body of Jesus.
