“The angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay” ―Matthew 28:5, 6⁵And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. ⁶He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. (Matthew 28:5‑6).

THAT empty tomb told the story in an incontrovertible manner that Jesus was victor over death, having effected eternal redemption for all who trust in Him. His resurrection testifies to the Father’s perfect satisfaction in the work of the cross, and tells of the sin question forever settled, and the way into the Holiest now opened up.

“The tomb was sealed that burial day

Against imagined threat of theft;

But when the stone was rolled away

Only the linen clothes were left.

Between the darkness and the dawn

(The sentries eyes were blind to sea)

Their Prisoner of death had gone:

Lord of Eternal Life was He!

The earth to her foundations shook.

And sundered were the gates of hell;

The soldiers looked as dead men look.

Such awful fear upon them fell.
