The Tomb Is Still Empty

Every Easter we reflect on the empty tomb and are reminded, that in spite of all the difficulties of this life, all is well, for Jesus Christ is alive.  But today is Monday, we are back to life, and life has a way of robbing us of the joy and confidence gained in knowing that Jesus is truly alive.  Jesus' resurrection puts a new light on everything, and though I may not understand life's headaches, or the Lord's methods and timing, this I do know He is alive and reigning.  I've discovered in my Christian journey that it is important for me to take a regular reflective pilgrimage to the empty tomb.  In doing so my heart and mind get centered and stable.  So, I know it's Monday, but the tomb is still empty.  I know that bill is still hanging over your head, but the tomb is still empty.  Your boss is a "#!$*%", but the tomb is still empty.  He or she or they were mean to you, but the tomb is still empty.  Those kids drain you and won't listen, but the tomb is still empty!  The power of His resurrection is available to us every single day, may you find in it strength and joy.
