"Why Are You Weeping?"

Sermon for Easter Day

Sermon Text: John 20:1-18 (the empty tomb)

Key Thought

Why would anyone ask, “Why are you weeping?” at a grave?

In this sermon, we trace that strange question from the first garden to the empty tomb—where grief meets a promise that refuses to die. What seems like an obvious sorrow is confronted by a deeper truth: death does not have the final word.

Come and hear how the risen Christ—the Gardener—calls you by name and turns your mourning into joy.
