As the women made their way to the Garden Tomb, their lives were filled with uncertainty. There were more questions than answers. Their hopes and dreams were shattered, buried with Jesus three days ago. However, when they arrived at the tomb, hope was provided through the resurrection!

The Resurrection: The King Is Alive Series

Contributed by Russ Barksdale on Apr 10, 2019
