Beautiful History: The Empty Tomb and the Historical Case for Easter
Apr 6, 2026 8629
On the first day of the week, Mary comes to the tomb while it is still dark. The stone has been moved. She runs to tell Peter and John. They run to the tomb – John winning the race, a detail so specific it could only have been written by someone who was there.
They find the linen cloths lying there. The face cloth folded separately. No body. No bones. The tomb is empty.
Christianity stands or falls on this historical claim. It is not a myth or a legend. It happened in real time, in real space, to real people. John sees the empty tomb and believes. The resurrection is not a feeling or a metaphor – it is an event. And the evidence, honestly considered, is worth taking seriously.
