“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.”

Matthew 28:6 (NIV)

On that first Easter morning, everything changed. The stone that sealed Jesus’ tomb was rolled away, not so He could escape, but so that we could witness the truth: Jesus is alive. The resurrection isn’t just a historical event; it’s the heartbeat of our faith. In the days leading up to Easter, there was darkness, grief, and silence. But then, life broke through. Hope burst forth. Jesus overcame the grave, just as He promised. His resurrection means that no situation is too far gone, no heart too broken, no story too finished for God to redeem.

The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is still at work in the world today. It reaches into the parts of our lives that feel stuck or lifeless. Maybe something in your heart feels buried, perhaps it’s hope, a relationship, a dream. Easter reminds us that God still rolls stones away. This Easter, take a moment to ask: What in your life needs resurrection? What’s an area where you’ve stopped expecting God to move? Don’t just celebrate a risen Savior, live like He’s alive. Walk in the freedom, joy, and boldness that comes with knowing the tomb is empty. Let this truth shape not just your Easter, but your life.
