The Empty Tomb

April 20, 2025

There are over four thousand religions in the world, most of which are built on some sort of philosophy. Only four of those religions are built on a singular personality; of those four personalities, three of their graves still hold a body. Only One died, resurrected, and lives today...His name is Jesus. In today’s sermon and in our celebration of Easter, Pastor Merritt preaches from Mark 16 and proves that only a tomb that is empty can give us hope for eternity.

The Empty Tomb

Bible Reference

When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb.

And they were saying to one 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 back—it was very large.

And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed.

And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.

But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.”

And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
