THE EMPTY TOMB

THE EMPTY TOMB

Christ has risen and the first solid proof is the empty tomb. He resurrected from the dead. All hopes have possibility of being achieve in due time. He redeemed all of us. We are now saved but saving us is not a guarantee that we are saved for eternity. We are still responsible for everything that we think and do and say.

Christ will not repeat the process of salvation. He has given enough already of the teaching, of the healing, and of the suffering. He loves us so much, that is why He gave us free will and now the card is on us to play the game rightfully.

Salvation is a gambling activity. If after all that Christ has done we stay as sinners as before, we shall never gain heaven. We must know how to play the game for us to win.

The empty tomb is not actually empty for it is full of graces reserved for us to whom Jesus Christ offered His life. There is so much room for improvement, so much space for goodness, so much area for us to share our talent, time and treasure, so much promise for us mortal to attain heaven.

Problems are now all around us and we have all the reasons to be part of the solution. It is not enough to complain or to be unconcerned. Let us all do our part. Let us allow all our weaknesses and frailties to die and be buried among the dead. Then, like Jesus let us allow them to resurrect with new meaning, new strength, and new promise. That way, the empty tomb will not remain empty but shall be the source of new dynamic ideas beneficial to each and everyone.

The seemingly empty tomb is the source of everything good. It is where the light comes to overcome the darkness. It is the dividing line between death and new life or new dimension of existence which is definitely an improvement of what we are now experiencing.

It is regrettable that we all failed to give tribute to the empty tomb during the celebration of the Holy Week. It is the center of it all. It is the very point where everything else emanates because it is the place where for three days Jesus laid peacefully and conquered death. The empty tomb is indeed the origin of life.
