"HE IS NOT HERE, FOR HE HAS RISEN!"
These are the words that were spoken in Matthew, Mark and Luke. And in each Gospel these words were accompanied by a statement that indicated they should have known this for Jesus Himself told them so.
In Matthew 28:6 an angel said to the women who came to the tomb, "He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said..."

Mark 16:6-7, speaking to the women who came to anoint Jesus' body, "And he said to them, 'Do not be amazed...He has risen; He is not here...He is going before you into Galilee, there you will see Him, just as He said to you.'"

Luke 24:6-7 "He is not here, but He has risen...Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

Matthew and Mark give us Jesus' words concerning this.
"But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee." Matthew
26:32 and Mark 14:28

The account in Luke 24 goes on to say of the women, "And they remembered His words, and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest...telling these things to the apostles." vs. 8-9

And what was the response to this wonderful news?
"And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them." vs.11 Mark 16:11, "And when they heard that He was alive, and had been seen by her  (Mary Magdalene), they refused to believe it." (My parenthesis)

John 20:26-29 gives the account of the Apostle Thomas's unbelief which says in part (be sure to read the whole passage), "Then He said to Thomas, 'Reach here your finger and see My hands, reach here your hand, and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.'" vs. 27

Is this not the world's response yet today to the news that Jesus died for sin, was raised from the dead, is alive and now seated at the right had of the Father?

Continuing in John 20:28-29, "Thomas answered and said to Him, my Lord and my God!'
Jesus said to him, 'Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.'"

What amazing grace has been bestowed on those who believe -- hearts made ready to receive the Good News; to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Jesus our Lord.
"By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8

The tomb is empty! HE IS RISEN! Hallelujah!

So with the Apostle Peter we say,
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." 1 Peter 1:3-5

With grateful hearts we sing with the Psalmist, "Praise the Lord, all nations; Laud Him, all peoples!
For His loving kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the Lord is everlasting, Praise the Lord!" Psalm 117

Easter blessings to all.
