"Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division." - Luke 12:51
While people struggle with a world wide pandemic, in just five days Resurrection Sunday will arrive. This will be a day of great celebration throughout the Christian community. A vast multitude will watch streaming services from home to praise and worship the risen Savior. Yet, while believers across the land will be rejoicing in their living Lord, there will also be a larger number who will be unmoved. 
On this day, some will have an empty tomb and a full life, and others will have a full tomb and empty life. The empty tomb is THE watershed of history. Those who have received the risen Christ are transformed by his light and those who reject him are still trembling in the darkness. The empty tomb has given undaunted faith to the believer and unending fear to the unbeliever. There can be no greater division.
When you see the golden morning sun, lit up with great splendor, are you ready for a beautiful day? Then, as you see the Son of God, risen from the dead in all his glory, embrace Him as the Lord of life and rejoice. Many will reject him to their sorrowful loss, but you my friend, choose the high road today and celebrate the One who brought division through an empty tomb!
