The entrance into the tomb signifies an act of faith and devotion, as they intended to anoint Jesus' body with spices. The tomb was likely a rock-cut tomb, common in the region, and entering it would have required courage, especially given the Roman guard and the sealed stone that had been placed there (<a href="/matthew/27-66.htm">Matthew 27:66</a>).<p><b>they did not find</b><br>The absence of Jesus' body is a pivotal moment in the resurrection narrative. This unexpected discovery sets the stage for the revelation of the resurrection. The empty tomb is a significant apologetic point for the early church, as it counters claims that Jesus' body was stolen or that He did not rise from the dead. The empty tomb is also a fulfillment of Jesus' own predictions about His resurrection (<a href="/mark/8-31.htm">Mark 8:31</a>).<p><b>the body of the Lord Jesus</b><br>The use of the title "Lord" emphasizes the divine authority and identity of Jesus. The physical body of Jesus is central to the Christian doctrine of the resurrection, which asserts that Jesus rose bodily from the dead, not merely in spirit. This affirms the belief in the bodily resurrection of believers as well. The absence of Jesus' body fulfills Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a>, which speaks of God's Holy One not seeing decay. The resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian faith, demonstrating Jesus' victory over sin and death, and confirming His identity as the Messiah.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_women.htm">The Women</a></b><br>The women who came to the tomb early in the morning, including Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, as mentioned in the surrounding verses. They were followers of Jesus who came to anoint His body with spices.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tomb.htm">The Tomb</a></b><br>The place where Jesus was laid after His crucifixion.
