The Empty Tomb

The stone has been rolled away from the garden tomb, revealing a silent, empty entrance where the body of Jesus Christ had been laid. The dark interior, framed by rock, wood, and living greenery, centers the resurrection sign given to the first witnesses on the morning after the Sabbath. The image recalls the Gospel accounts in which the women came to the tomb and found the great stone removed, not by human strength but by the power of God. The absence of Christ’s body is the proclamation: death has been defeated, the crucified Lord is risen, and the grave no longer holds Him. This resurrection artwork serves well for Easter worship, sermon visuals, church bulletins, discipleship resources, and teaching on the hope of eternal life in Christ. by Jeff Preston
