I probably had heard this illustration used before, I don’t know I don’t remember. It is a good guess that these riches were put in this tomb out of a broken heart. Those that put these riches in this tomb wanted to make sure that this son would have them in the life to come. We can see in retrospect how unwise this was. It seems so silly to us now that these people would put such a great amount of wealth into a tomb. But when you look at this from their point of view this body was the only thing that they had to cling to. This was the only thing left to show their affection for. I think you could say that they hung their hopes on a embalmed body using these things Thank God that we as followers of Jesus have more than that because of the empty tomb of Jesus.

I think it is time that we believers started to take this message by the Apostle Peter serious. Collosias 3 verse 2 asks us to forget about earthly things but focus on the way we are all facing - heavenwards. The Lord Jesus Christ told us in Luke before he ascended to heaven that He leaves us with his Peace and not with the way the earth would normally give you - gold, silver and others. I am deeply touched by these words coming from 1 Peter 1 verse 18. May the good loving Almighty God always give me the strength to accept my condition, whatever the siatuation. Paul tells us in Phillipians 4 verse 9 that He knows, through God, how to have plenty and how to have nothing and that in the same chapter, but verse 13 that he can do everything he wants through the Lord Jesus Christ who always strenghtens him. Amen! I am overwhelmed by this message. This is really true to the bone. I think it is time that we believers started to take this message by the Apostle Peter serious.

The tomb is empty which means my Jesus is alive, resurrected to life by the same Holy Spirit who lives in me. Oh the riches of an empty tomb, beyond all the riches this world could ever offer. There is nothing greater. Thank you Lord!!! I say Hallelujah and Amen!!! The tomb is empty which means my Jesus is alive, resurrected to life by the same Holy Spirit who lives in me.
