The empty tomb changed everything. When Mary Magdalene discovered that stone rolled away on that first Easter morning, she witnessed the greatest demonstration of divine power in human history.
The resurrection didn’t just prove Jesus was who He claimed to be it unleashed a supernatural force that continues to transform lives today.
I remember sitting in a hospital room three years ago, watching my grandmother take her final breaths. The doctors had given up hope, but our family gathered around her bed, praying with the same faith that moved mountains.
We didn’t see a physical resurrection that day, but we witnessed something equally miraculous: the peace that surpasses understanding filling that sterile room, and the assurance that death had no final victory over her soul.
This is the resurrection power available to every believer not just for the afterlife, but for the daily battles we face.
