Of that first Easter morning we know from Scripture that,
“And when the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene; and Mary the mother of 
 James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
 And very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when 
 the sun had risen.
 And they were saying one to another, ‘Who will roll away the stone for us
 from the entrance of the tomb?’
 And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it 
 was extremely large.
 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right. Wearing a
 white robe; and they were amazed.”  Mark 16:1-5
(Also read the account in the other three Gospels.  Matthew 28:1-8; 
Luke 24:1-10; John: 20:1-8)

The Amplified Bible says,
 “…they were utterly amazed and struck with terror.”  Mark 16:5
What a shocking sight that must have been!  He was gone!

“And he said to then, ‘Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the 
 Nazarene, who has been crucified.  He has risen; He is not here, behold,
 here is the place where they laid Him.’”  Mark 16:6

Luke 24:5-6,
“…Why do you seek the living One among the dead?
 He is not here, but He has risen.”

“He is not here, for, He has risen, just as He said…”  Matthew 28:6

The tomb is empty!  HE IS RISEN!  Hallelujah!

And we can say with the Apostle Peter:
“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 say 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

So we sing.
“He is Lord, He is Lord,
 He is risen from the dead and He is Lord!
 Every knee will bow, every tongue confess,
 That Jesus Christ is Lord!

Amen
