The Empty Tomb

I am not sure where the original of this comes from but it's really good!

             The cross means we can look back and be thankful;

               the empty tomb means we can look ahead and be hopeful.

            The cross fills us with gratitude;

              the empty tomb fills us with expectation.

            The cross means that He died for us;

              the empty tomb means that He lives for us.

             The cross means the old has passed away;

               the empty tomb means that all things have become new.

             The cross is the triumph of mercy;

               the empty tomb is the triumph of righteousness.

             The message of the cross is, "It is finished";

               the message of the empty tomb is, "I am alive forever more."

         

We must move forward from the cross,not get marooned on Golgotha.
