 King Tut’s tomb would eventually change all that.
King Tut’s tomb was discovered with all of its contents and
treasures. And sure enough, there was old King Tut too. But before
then, an empty tomb was almost always expected.
There are still conspiracy believers that Elvis Presley faked his
own death and his tomb is empty. These crazy conspiracy people have
threatened to take his family members to court a few times demanding
his casket be raised and examined. (Cuckoo!)
When King Herod’s tomb was discovered, it too was empty. King Herod
and Jesus date back to the same time period and both have empty
tombs. So what?
Well, if the kings of ancient Egypt and King Elvis and King Herod
and King Jesus all have empty tombs, then what makes Jesus’ empty
tomb any more special than any of theirs? Why does the entire world
celebrate Jesus’ empty tomb?

Simple: Jesus is the only one who died and came back
to life. That’s the big deal! Can you imagine going to the graveyard
and seeing someone you knew had died, come walking out of the family
crypt? That is what we would call a miracle.
Well, that’s exactly what was witnessed and recorded
and presented, along with many proofs to us from four different
writers of Jesus day. It’s not one book…the Bible; but four books.
If you add in all we learn from the Apostle Paul too, the books just
keep adding up. The proofs are too numerous to mention in a short
article.
The empty tombs of our world might be many. But only one is there
because the occupant came back from the dead and showed himself to
some 500 witnesses. If Jesus’ tomb is empty because he beat
death...then that is a very big deal. |
