Matthew 28:6-8  ⁶ He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.  ⁷ Then go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.' This is my message for you."  ⁸ So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

Places you will NOT find Jesus (Matthew 28:6)

• Jesus is not on the cross. Suffering has been replaced by triumph and resurrection. The cross is intended to be a reminder of where Christ has been, not where Christ is.
• Jesus is not in the tomb. We do not worship a dead hero but a Risen Savior. It has often been said that there is no place we can go to view the bones of Christ.
• Jesus is no longer in Jerusalem. The Savior of the world is not bound by human geography or human limitations. Jesus goes before us in mission in our home communities.
