LESSON: Matthew 28:1-6.
TOPIC:
THE EMPTY TOMB ā THE PROOF OF VICTORY
TEXT:
He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Matthew 28:6 (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION:
Today we stand at the center of our faithā¦ not at the cross, but beyond it.Because the cross was painful, yesā¦
but it was not the end. In Matthew 28:1ā6 and Mark 16:1ā6, we see a moment that changed everything. Women came to the tomb with sorrow, with spices, with heavy heartsā¦ expecting to meet a dead Jesus.
But instead, they encountered a divine announcement:
> āHe is not hereā¦ He is risen!ā That statementā¦ simple as it soundsā¦ shook hell, silenced death, and gave humanity a new beginning. And maybe, if weāre honest, some of us still live like He is in the grave. But todayā¦ something will shift. Be blessed by the word.
EXPOSITION:
[1]. THE STONE WAS NOT FOR JESUS,
IT WAS FOR YOU
In both passages, one thing stands outā¦ the stone.
A massive stone, sealed, guardedā¦
impossible to move by human strength.
And the women even asked among themselves:
> āWho will roll away the stone for us?ā (Mark 16:3)
That questionā¦ feels familiar, doesnāt it?
Who will solve this problem? Who will remove this burden? Who will open this door? But when they arrivedā¦ the stone was already rolled away. Listen carefullyā¦
Jesus did not need the stone to be removed before He can come out. He is the resurrection. He could pass through anything, Nothing can hold Him back
The stone was not removed for Himā¦ It was removed so they could see. And maybe in your lifeā¦ God has already moved something, but you havenāt stepped close enough to notice.
[2]. WHAT YOU EXPECT IS NOT WHAT GOD IS DOING
They came expecting a body. They carried spicesā¦ prepared for deathā¦ ready to complete a burial.
But heaven had already moved ahead of their expectations. Instead of deathā¦ they found life.
Instead of silenceā¦ they heard a message.
> āWhy seek the living among the dead?ā
That question still echoes today. Why are you still looking for hope in dead places? Why are you expecting defeat when God has already declared victory?
Sometimesā¦ we prepare for the worst, while God is already working out the best. And I think this is where many believers miss it. We pray resurrectionā¦ but we plan for burial.
[3]. THE RESURRECTION IS NOT JUST AN EVENT,
IT IS A POWER
The angel said: āHe is risen.ā Not āHe will riseāā¦ not
āHe is tryingā but He is risen. It is finished. It is done.
And this is where it gets deeperā¦The resurrection is not just something that happened to Jesusā¦
It is something that now lives inside you.
That same power that broke the graveā¦
That same authority that defeated deathā¦
That same life that could not be containedā¦
...is available to every believer.
So why are you still bound? Why are you still afraid?
Why are you still living like the stone is still there?
To be honestā¦ sometimes we celebrate Easter,
but we donāt walk in resurrection.
CONCLUSION
STILL IN THE BUSINESS OF RESURRECTION
The tomb is empty. Let that sink inā¦ not as a story,
not as traditionā¦ but as truth. Empty tomb means:
Sin has lost its hold Death has lost its sting
Fear has lost its power, And your lifeā¦ does not have to remain the same. Whatever looks dead in your lifeā¦
Whatever feels buried, Whatever you have given up to
This is your reminder: God is still in the business of resurrection.
PRAYER
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ,
We receive the power of resurrection today.
Therefore: Every dead situation in our livesā¦
come alive now! Every stone blocking our progressā¦
be rolled away! Every fear, every doubt, every limitationā¦ lose your hold! Lord, help us to walk in the reality of the risen Christ. Let Your life flow through us,
Let Your power be evident in us,
And let our lives become proof that Jesus is alive.
In Jesusā mighty nameā¦ Amen.
GOODWILL MESSAGE
Happy Easter to you and your household.
May this season not just be a celebrationā¦ but a transformation. May you step into new life, new power, and new beginnings. And may your testimony be clear for all to see: Jesus is aliveā¦ and He is working in you.
THE SAME JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK AGAIN;
BE READY FOR HIM.
HAPPY EASTER CELEBRATIONS.
With Love from Pastor M O Glorious,
