The Empty Tomb
is a sermon
it preaches an eternal truth
without it
there is no hope
you become captive to fear
your faith is in vain
you search for life
where it will never be found.
The Empty Tomb
is a sermon
it thunders down the hallways
of history
with truth that changes everything
for all who listen
no matter who they are
no matter where they are.
The Empty Tomb
is a sermon
preached to broken humanity
it tells everyone who hears
that we don’t live in hope
of victory;
we live out of the victory
won in that tomb.
The Empty Tomb
is a sermon:
we would do well to listen.
