Luke 24:3 NLT: “The women went inside the tomb, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus.”
At the crucifixion, Jesus’ physical body stopped breathing but his spirit, his soul, his eternal essence could not be extinguished – not by Pharisee conspiracy theoriests nor by Roman Centurions. After all, Jesus is the Son of God-the-Creator, and God makes all the rules – no one else! Knowing God is still on his throne fills us with hope eternal.
Jesus’ physical death paid the price for the sins of the world. If you’re a believer, your soul has been bought and paid for by the Son of God himself. In the same act and on the same day, Jesus conquered mankind’s problems of both sin and death. Because of Jesus’ mission, we have assurance of salvation – a guarantee of life after this life in the presence of the Father.
The Creator’s intervention in our lives did not end when Jesus ascended, and that’s really Good News!
