Apr 4

In and of itself, and empty tomb means just that – an empty tomb. A stolen body does not amount to resurrection, nor does breathing life into a corpse.

We find that the disciples see an empty tomb but do not understand. It is only once Mary has had an encounter that restores her to hope, to life, to renewed relationship – that she becomes witness to the risen Christ.
