What If?

As we approach Resurrection Morning (Easter) we should take a minute to ask ourselves what if? What if the tomb had not been empty? What if when that morning dawned, Jesus had not risen? What would have happened to the disciples? Would they have been surprised? Would they have been disappointed, or would it have been just another ordinary Sunday morning?
Jesus told his disciples that he was going away to prepare a place for them. He told the high priests that He was the Son of God. He told his disciples that he was going to die and that on the third day he would rise, but had they really believed him?
If the tomb had not been empty, there would have been no hope for us. If the tomb had not been empty, Jesus would have been a liar, and all his ministry would have been for nothing. If the tomb had not been empty, the devil would have won, and you and I would be lost forever.
Aren't you glad that on that resurrection morning over 2000 years ago when the women took their spices to the tomb to anoint the body of their crucified saviour, He wasn't there. Praise God He had Risen, for them and for us.
I live, I live, because He is risen. I live, I live, to worship Him!
Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus. Because you're alive, because you're alive. Because you're alive, I live!!!!!!
