The Garden Tomb

John 19 records Christ's Burial and Resurrection. Verses 40 & 41 say " So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. Now in the place where He was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid."
I love how Matthew in chapter 28 records Christ's Resurrection. Verses 5 & 6 say "The angel said to the women, Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying." The tomb is empty,! Hallelujah, My Savior lives!
Many think the Garden Tomb could be the authentic site of Christ's burial and resurrection. Whether it is the actual site or not, it has become a garden where people come to reflect, not only on the death of our Savior but on His resurrection and God's gift of eternal life for those who believe.Leer más
