The sermon this Easter morning is based on the discovery of the empty tomb. You will see thatthough the sinner embarks on many a foolish journey, the Gospel reveals God’s desire to ever guideyou to and by the forgiveness and grace found in the Risen Lord. Again, from Mark’s Gospel: “Theangel said to the women: ‘Be not affrighted! Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified. He isrisen! He is not here!’” O Risen Lord, bless Thy Word that we may trust in Thee. Amen.
