GONE, THE TOMB IS EMPTY


The resurrection of Jesus from the grave is God's assurance that He has accepted his Son's sacrifice on the cross. 
1 Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain: ye are yet in your sins.
If Jesus had only died and not been resurrected, He would have been a mere martyr -- a good man dying for a cause. But Calvary's cross and the empty tomb are inseparably linked for eternity.
The immediate future may be uncertain, but if you have entrusted your eternal destiny to the One who rose from the dead, you have nothing to be afraid of. 

Gone, the stone is rolled back
Gone, the tomb is empty
Gone, to sit at the Father's side
Gone, over death triumphant
Gone, sin is defeated
Gone, He lives forever more
