Resurrection Sunday

About this episode

Pastor David Grobler explores the significance of the empty tomb as God's confirmation of the cross and the beginning of a transformed life through the resurrection.

“The empty tomb is God’s YES to everything Jesus said.” In this powerful Resurrection Sunday message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the meaning of the empty tomb — not as a separate event from the cross, but as God’s confirmation of it. The cross and the resurrection are one story: the cross declares the message, and the empty tomb declares that message is true. Through the account in John 20, we see how even those closest to Jesus struggled to understand the resurrection. Mary stood before the risen Christ and didn’t recognize Him. The disciples saw the empty tomb and were confused. Yet in a moment, everything changed — because the resurrection didn’t just prove something… it started something. This message reveals that the empty tomb is: God’s “YES” to every promise, The beginning of a new reality, Victory over death, And the invitation into a transformed life through the Holy Spirit. The resurrection is not just history — it’s a living reality meant to be seen in us.
