    Easter 2016: Empty Promises

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Dec 22, 2020
     | 5,578 views

    On the first Easter Sunday, instead of promises full of emptiness, God gave us emptiness that is full of promise. There are at least three of them—an empty cross, empty clothes, and an empty cave. It is the very fact that each of these is empty that assures us that God’s promises are not.
