Meet the Apostles: running to an empty tomb

Meet the Apostles: running to an empty tomb by ric Gustafson


According to John 20, Mary Magdalene was the first to discover that the stone in front of Jesus's tomb was rolled away. She ran back to tell Peter and John. She told them that they had taken the Lord's body and she did not know where they had taken him.
Peter and John ran to the tomb. John got there first, stopped and then peered inside. Peter entered the burial chamber. John followed. They saw Jesus's burial wrappings and no body.
The Apostles began to realize the significance of Luke 9:22. The Son of Man will be killed but on the third day will be raised from the dead.
Believers in Jesus like myself know the truth of Jesus's resurrection. Without the resurrection, there would be no hope for salvation.
