Text: Luke 24:1-24
Jesus taught that He would die and be raised from the dead on the third day. An empty cross fulfills a promise.
1) Sin's penalty is paid in full.
2) We are washed clean.
Since the cross is empty it means that:
1) Jesus died.
2) The Romans did not remove live people off of their cross. If the individual wasn't dying fast enough, they broke the legs. This prevented them from pushing upward to get air into their lungs.
3) To verify the person was dead, they pierced the side with their sword. Depending on what came out, they knew if the person was dead.
The empty tomb means there is no hell for the believer.
The Empty grave clothes speaks of no feeble body. When Jesus arose, He left the clothing of this life behind and took on the clothes of the resurrected body.
