A sermon offered on Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022. I had the privilege of celebrating Easter with the good folks at St. Barnbas in Roanoke and at the Church to the Messiah (recording) in Heflin, Alabama.

Principal texts: Luke 24:1-12

“How idle those tales must have seemed for the women walking at dawn, carrying spices to a tomb. I am sure they told stories because that is what we do at times like this. We tell familiar stories that help us remember who we are and who we loved. We tell the stories to make sense of the loss, to celebrate the life of the one who died.

But when they arrived at the tomb, Mary Magdalene and the other women discovered that they would again be witnesses to God’s power at work. They came expecting to find a body. Instead, they found the stone moved. The tomb empty.”
