Empty or full?

.

It is a simple enough question

Was the tomb empty......or was it full?

We instinctively answer 'empty' - and certainly if you were looking for a dead body, there was none.

Like folks down through history you could summon many possible explanations for that emptiness.

However...............possibly............like the angels proclaimed and millions have believed through the centuries...........

What awaited the women that first Easter morning was not emptiness, but the fullness of God.  

The fullness of God's power to call life out of nothing; 

the fullness of God to make be what had ceased to be; 

the fullness of God that is life in its purest form.

Just possibly that tomb was so full that it overflowed into all creation

and the history of the world.

He is not here! He has been raised!  

Alleluia!
