Empty?

 Empty?

It brings to mind the adage of the proverbial glass, with its midway water marking, and the question: is it half full or half empty? This premise stipulates that certain people and mindsets will see it one way or the other. What perspective embraces you? Full or empty?

After the silence of Holy Saturday with its hushed anticipation and vigil watching, we look to Jesus’ tomb for reassurance. For two days, He filled the hollow space, and on the third day, He transformed it into a ‘hallowed’ place. Our Divine Father raised Him from the clutches of death. Jesus was set free, and He bestowed that very Gift unto us.

When something is empty, it may be branded as worthless. A box with nothing inside longs to be filled, or does it? Sometimes the gift is in the nothingness as it can be created into whatever one desires. It can be constructed for the good of all, or it can simply sit empty. The choice is ours.

Christ Jesus voluntarily chose to obey His Father, and fulfilled prophecy with the agonizing Passion and the piercing anguish of the Crucifixion. The Resurrection belongs solely to the Christian faith. No other religious Godhead is responsible for eliminating sins and overriding death. We are truly blessed to have a God who loves us enough to watch His only Begotten Son suffer and die for our benefit. LORD Jesus, we sing your praises every day, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. He is Risen… we are Saved.

John 12:23-24
Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.  I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."
