Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, we are here to celebrate today that the tomb is empty.

We are here to celebrate the resurrected Jesus Christ.

He died on the cross.

He was buried in that tomb, and on the third day the stone was rolled away and he is alive this very day.

And some of him may be asking, why are we celebrating Easter in October? I can tell you why.

Because if the tomb is empty or anything is possible. Some of you might be saying, why y'all dressed up

all of a sudden? Because we are here to celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ is alive and in fact every single

time the church gathers together, whether it's on a Thursday or a Sunday, what we are ultimately

celebrating is the fact that the tomb is empty.

We serve a resurrected Savior.

Amen.

Amen.

If you got your Bibles, I hope you do.

I hope you're ready for today.

Grab and go to John chapter 19. That's where we are going to start. And I don't know how you

walked in here today, okay? I don't know how you walked in. Maybe you walked in full of doubt,

maybe full of fear, maybe anxiety, maybe the circumstances of your life around you feel like they are crumbling.

I've got some really good news that Jesus Christ wants to meet you right where you are.

And we're going to see a whole bunch of different people meet Jesus at the empty tomb.

And what they bring to that empty tomb is they bring themselves.

They bring their insecurity.

They bring their anxiety. they bring their humanity.
