“Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead!”
Luke 24:5-6 NLT

The weight of sorrow hung thick in the air as the women approached the tomb that morning. Their grief was fresh, their hearts heavy. Jesus, the One they had followed, the One they had believed was the Messiah, had suffered an excruciating death. He was gone. Now, all they had left was a broken heart and burial spices.

But in an instant, everything changed.

An angel appeared, light bursting through the darkness, with a message that would echo through eternity: He isn’t here! He is risen!

The empty tomb wasn’t just proof of Christ’s victory over death — it was proof that our hope is not in vain. The grave could not hold Jesus, and despair will not hold us. The same power that raised Christ from the dead now lives in us (Romans 8:11).

Sister, whatever brokenness you carry today, whatever disappointment or uncertainty weighs on your heart — Easter shouts the truth that hope is alive. Jesus’ resurrection isn’t just a moment in history; it’s the reality that reshapes our future. The cross says you are redeemed. The empty tomb declares you are victorious.

You are not alone. You are not forgotten. Your story isn’t over.

So lift your head. Stand firm in resurrection power. And walk in the freedom of the One who conquered death and lives forevermore.

Risen Savior, fill me with Your hope today. Thank You for the victory You won on the cross and through the empty tomb. Help me live in the power of Your resurrection. Amen.
