Throughout the world, churches are reading the resurrection account, singing songs of praise for Christ’s triumph over death, and are filled with excitement and hope at what all of this means because of the resurrection of Christ. And yet, there is much more to Easter than just an empty tomb!
We look at the professional athlete, the great musician, the accomplished brain surgeon, or the CEO and, depending on our background; we secretly admire them and say that they have the “good life”- maybe even the easy life. And yet, we fail to realize that behind each of these “glamour” positions is countless hours of preparation, sacrifice, and struggle. And the resurrection of Christ is no different. Behind the resurrection of Christ and the empty tomb there is unimaginable suffering, trial, hardship, and sacrifice. In fact, it is my belief that we cannot fully appreciate the meaning of Easter without at least a limited understanding of the cost that lies behind the empty tomb.
