Beyond the Empty Grave
Based on John 20:1-18
Jesus is risen. He is not in the grave. Grave is empty. The Risen Jesus calls us beyond the empty grave. He calls us to join him in the resurrection life. It’s time to leave behind our empty grave and follow the Risen Christ in making everything new and beautiful in God.
