Reflection Question 4: The image of Easter Sunday is the empty tomb. If thieves had stolen Jesus they would not have unwrapped him. The burial cloths are ‘alone’. The story and evidence is shared. People consider it ‘nonsense’. Peter walks home ‘amazed’. If you were present in the Resurrection scene, having witnessed his suffering, death and burial. And now the empty tomb with burial cloths on the ground… what would you think? A stolen body or risen Lord? What thoughts and emotions would be present? Spend some time at the ‘tomb’ and see what it teaches you. Can you ‘see’ and ‘believe’?
