“The Empty Tomb” by Paul David Tripp

The Empty Tomb

is a sermon

it preaches an eternal truth

without it

there is no hope

you are robbed of courage

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.
