Matthew 28:5-6 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
[6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
This is the divine announcement of the Resurrection.
Jesus had left the tomb before the stone had been rolled away.
Later He would enter a room with a locked door.
He Arose

Low in the grave He lay, — Jesus, my Savior, — Waiting the coming day, — Jesus, my Lord!
CHORU
Up from the grave He arose, — With a mighty triumph o’er His foes, — He arose a Victor from the dark domain, — And He lives forever, with His saints to reign. — He arose! He arose! — Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Vainly they watch His bed, — Jesus, my Savior; — Vainly they seal the dead, — Jesus, my Lord!
Death cannot keep his Prey, — Jesus, my Savior; — He tore the bars away, — Jesus, my Lord!
