“Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead!”
Luke 24:5-6 NLT
The weight of sorrow hung thick in the air as the women approached the tomb that morning. Their grief was fresh, their hearts heavy. Jesus, the One they had followed, the One they had believed was the Messiah, had suffered an excruciating death. He was gone. Now, all they had left was a broken heart and burial spices.
But in an instant, everything changed.
An angel appeared, light bursting through the darkness, with a message that would echo through eternity: He isn’t here! He is risen!
The empty tomb wasn’t just proof of Christ’s victory over death — it was proof that our hope is not in vain. The grave could not hold Jesus, and despair will not hold us. The same power that raised Christ from the dead now lives in us (Romans 8:11).
Sister, whatever brokenness you carry today, whatever disappointment or uncertainty weighs on your heart — Easter shouts the truth that hope is alive. Jesus’ resurrection isn’t just a moment in history; it’s the reality that reshapes our future. The cross says you are redeemed. The empty tomb declares you are victorious.
You are not alone. You are not forgotten. Your story isn’t over.
So lift your head. Stand firm in resurrection power. And walk in the freedom of the One who conquered death and lives forevermore.
Risen Savior, fill me with Your hope today. Thank You for the victory You won on the cross and through the empty tomb. Help me live in the power of Your resurrection. Amen.

He is Risen! He is risen indeed!
Thank you for this beautiful message that even though I am going through too many struggles that are heartbreaking, today reminds all of us that today signals that there is always HOPE and this is exactly what I need. He is risen and He is with us today and every day. What a fine devotional for today. My love and prayers go out to you from me, to people who are suffering with problems every day that never seem to end. Jesus has died to save us all from our sins. May all of you have a Happy Day today as we know He is here………………Betsy B.
Have a Blessed Easter and a JOYOUS spring (in)courage friends!
The true story we read of the Risen Saviour in our Bible. Is one that gives us hope. That when we that saved pass away. We will be Risen too like our Lord was. We will be Risen to go to Glory to be with our Saviour. How lovely that is to know. That is something to looked forward too. As the songs says “Christ has risen Hallelujah”
How true that song is. All that happened from the time Christ hung on the cross for our sins by the shedding of his Blood. To Christ being risen. It give us hope that our sins are forgiven become our Lord loved us so much and wanted us to be with him in Glory one day. That he die the most painful death to show his love for us all. Then he was risen and that gives us hope that we as I said will also be risen one day when we leave earth to be with Our Lord in Glory. I say Hallelujah to that. With our Lord doing all this there would be no hope. I say Amen to that. Love Dawn Ferguson-Little Enniskillen Co.Fermanagh N.Ireland xx
