A rabbi is on a secret mission and on the move--a rabbi who starts performing miracles, and quickly gains a huge following. But he holds a secret that will eventually kill him, and forbids his followers from divulging his true identity.

Nobody Knows Because There Was No Body
This Easter, our hope rests not in a memory, a philosophy, or a good teacher, but in a risen Savior who conquered death.
On that first Easter morning, the women came to the tomb expecting to find the body of Jesus. Instead, they found the stone rolled away, the grave clothes neatly folded, and the tomb empty. An angel declared, “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said” (Matthew 28:6).
For more than 2,000 years, no one has been able to point to a grave and say with certainty, “This is where Jesus is buried.” There is no shrine, no pilgrimage site containing His remains, only two or three competing sites claiming to be His original tomb. Nobody knows where He was buried because there was no body in there.
Contrast that with the founders of other religions. Muhammad is buried beneath the Green Dome in the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Confucius lies in a well-known cemetery in Qufu, China. Buddha was cremated, and his relics are venerated in temples and stupas across Asia. Their followers can visit known resting places. Same is true of every other religious founder or guru – the location of their remains is certain.
But Jesus? His tomb is empty. His enemies could have produced the body to silence the disciples, but they couldn’t, because He had risen and people saw him with their own eyes.
Because Jesus lives, our hope is unshakable. Death is defeated. Sin is forgiven. And the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in us today.
This Easter, anchor your heart in the empty tomb. Our hope is not in a dead leader whose bones still lie somewhere on earth. Our hope is in the living Lord Jesus Christ.
Happy Easter!
Pastor Scott Furrow
