Howdy, Pastor Mark here at the Garden Tomb. Just

behind me you will see a small entry point that is an ancient tomb. This entire area has been built around it.

Some quarter million people a year arrive at this place to remember and to celebrate and

investigate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

The truth is we don't know exactly where Jesus was buried.

Why? Because he's not there. That's the big idea. We do know however that it was either this place or a place

much like it for 10 reasons. Number one we read in the gospel accounts that Jesus was led outside of the city walls.

This place qualifies. Number two, it was outside of a gate. We're told that in Hebrews, the place

where Jesus was buried, and this fits that requirement as well.

Number three we are told that it was along a busy thoroughfare and as you entered

in you experienced that to this day.

Number four, it was a public place of execution

that Jesus was ultimately put to death.

Number five, we are told that he was laid in a stone tomb and so that is most assuredly the case here
