A bare cross and an empty tomb.
This Easter I want to encourage you to set everything aside for a little while and simply come before your Lord and Savior. Find a quiet spot for a few minutes away from the noise and “to do list” … then focus your thoughts and devotion on the two matchless scenes that define our faith, the bare cross and the empty tomb.
