God provided an empty tomb for every empty space in our lives.
Does it ever seem like you took a crash course on how to manage current life that you never signed up for? The sinking feeling of emptiness that seems to linger on and on.
I experienced emptiness from an empty womb after I lost a baby to miscarriage, an emptiness from a broken heart when my father died, and plenty of other empty spaces throughout the years.
Whether it was the loss we experienced during the pandemic, a natural disaster, a family trauma or inner turmoil, you and I know how much empty wreaks havoc on our minds and hearts.
Still, empty doesn’t define who we are, we were misinformed by the enemy of our souls.
Jesus Steps Into Our Empty
Those daydreams of shining knights coming to save the day and us. The people we hope will swoop in as a hero over our difficult circumstances and life’s unexpected curve balls. The ones we want to fill in our empty.
They all have cracks in their armor or holes in their capes.
But Jesus steps in and rescues us from areas in our life marked: Empty found, Rescue needed.
These are our real needs. These are the areas where a true rescue needs to take place. Like how Jesus offers to fill our emptiness with living water and soul refreshing. Such as forgiveness, mercy, and grace for sin. And unconditional love and real peace only found in our Savior.

An Empty Tomb for Every Empty Place
Christ willingly emptied Himself on a cross to pay for our sins and fill the emptiness of our souls.
Jesus suffered to comfort us in suffering, beaten and broken to put us back together. Separated from His Father so He connected us in relationship with God—never distant, but always near.
Maybe our life feels empty from a world turned topsy-turvy. Perhaps our soul displays the barrenness of our current situation.
When everything familiar seems stripped away, remember the stone supernaturally rolled away.
Jesus Christ rose from the dead, leaving behind an empty tomb, so we are able to leave behind empty from our past or present, and even into our future.

Empty Tomb: Jesus Gave His Life Away to Give Us Life
Made for more, we realize there’s more to this life. Christ came to give us more…to give us what is
and to fill our emptiness.
Jesus came not only to give us an eternal future, but to also gift us with a better present—to redeem our story and redeem our empty.
Yet, we must keep our eyes on the Savior who is the culmination of the “more” we need. If we immerse ourselves in godly things, in spiritual things, and even in ministry, but miss Jesus, we miss it. We miss our reason for rescue.

“God provided an empty tomb for every empty space in our lives.” This very first line was a powerful truth. I am so grateful He will fill our lives with more of Himself as we come before Him. Have a blessed Easter!
Yes, God’s filling is the only one that truly satisfies our souls deepest longings and overcomes our emptiness! Blessed Easter to you!
Karen, connecting the empty tomb with our emptiness is powerful. Thank you.
Thanks, Debbie. So grateful Christ overcame the tomb so we can overcome past, present and future empty.
What a powerful post, Karen. I’m so grateful His empty tomb fills the empty space in my life!
It’s so comforting to know that God is there to fill our empty places. I need to remember that today.
