Do you have a “void” inside that can’t seem to be filled? Most of us do. Yet sadly, the more we try to fill that void the emptier it becomes. For instance, if we try to fill it with food, we’re left feeling hungry; if we try to fill it with people, we’re left feeling lonely; if we try to fill it with money, we’re left feeling bankrupt; if we try to fill it with entertainment, we’re left feeling bored. These things may provide temporary relief, but they offer no permanent solution.

To truly find that which can make us full, we must look to that which is empty. “Some of our men went to the tomb and found it empty…” (Luke 24:24, GW). The empty tomb of Jesus Christ holds the answer to being filled.

The Lord’s resurrection was the single greatest event in human history up to this point, and it is the foundation of Christianity. It proves that Jesus is the Son of God (Romans 1:4), that judgment is coming (Acts 17:31), the prophecy is true (Psalm 16:10), and that hope is real (1 Peter 1:3). It is the guarantee that those in Christ will also be raised.

You can share in the resurrection of Jesus Christ by being baptized in water (Colossians 2:12). Just as He died, was buried, and then rose to new life, in baptism we die to sin, are buried in water, and then rise to newness of life (Romans 6:3-5). Have you done that?
