Genesis 19:1-38; Job 22:1-30; Matthew 10:24-11:1
He is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. Mark 16:6
The empty tomb cannot help but bring to mind our Lord’s shame as He carried the burden of our sins from Calvary to where no man had been laid. But He is risen! He is no longer there! Having blotted out the ordinances against us, He broke death’s embrace, releasing the grave’s grip and lifted us above the joyless, hopeless darkness of the perishing. Our destiny was forever changed! If we then be risen with Christ, ought not our walk reflect His leading in
paths of righteousness for His name’s sake? —David J. Reed
He leadeth me! O blessed thought,
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me. —J. H. Gilmore
