Let’s be honest: there are days when our hearts feel hollow.
When the weight of life makes joy feel far away.
When we question our purpose, our strength, or even our faith.
On those days, it helps to remember this:
The tomb was empty.
Not because God had left us.
But because Jesus had won.
The empty tomb isn’t a symbol of absence. It’s a sign of victory. It’s a reminder that even when everything feels lost, God is still working.
If Jesus could walk out of the grave, He can meet you in the silence, in the sadness, and in the struggle.
The resurrection doesn’t erase our pain, but it redefines it. It says:
This won’t be the end.
There is purpose in this waiting.
There is redemption in this ache.
And there is resurrection power even in the stillness.
When your prayers feel unanswered, when your efforts feel unseen, and when your soul feels tired... the empty tomb speaks a better word.
It reminds us:
🌿 That God doesn’t run from broken places.
🌸 That what feels like a grave can become a garden.
✨ That emptiness can be the very place where glory begins.
The beauty of Easter isn’t that it denies pain.
It’s that it proves pain doesn’t win.
So when you feel empty, remember the tomb.
It looked like the end, but it was actually the beginning.
Hope lives.
Grace reigns.
Love has the final word.
And your emptiness is not where the story stops.
He is Risen and because of that, there is always more to come.
Let that truth fill you today.
Let it anchor you.
Let it carry you through the quiet seasons.
You are not forgotten.
You are not alone.
And because the tomb is empty, you can be filled again. 🕊️
