Matthew 28:1-6
1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

In the beginning God had created the universe, including man, in six days and on the seventh day he took rest. Christ here finished his redeeming work and took rest in the tomb and he was raised in the first day after the passover-sabbath, perfecting his work. He is the only hope of the entire human world. He is the bright Morning Star (Rev 22:16). He is the Root & the Son of David, Alpha & Omega, First & Last, and Beginning & End. Jesus is the true light, the light that shines in the darkness. John says the darkness has not understood the light (John 1:5)

How could darkness understand the light? They just can't exist together. The empty tomb of Jesus is our motivation; it is the source of our strength. A gigantic sized death is shrunk to nothing in the empty tomb.

A school teacher had asked her children to bring something to the class after the Easter vacation, something that represents a new beginning. Children brought many things, like an egg, a seed, a sprout, a bud etc. One of the boys brought an empty box, seeing that the whole class laughed at him. Finally the teacher asked an explanation for his act. And to her surprise the boy explained what he heard in the Easter message. The empty tomb represents a whole new beginning for the human race.

If you think your life is an empty box today, you are at the right place - if you put it in perspective with Jesus - because God created the entire universe out of nothing.
