Pastor Taylor Shippy - John 19:41-20:3, 11-18
G.K. Chesterton says, "On the third day the friends of Christ coming at day-break to the place found the grave empty and the stone rolled away. In varying ways they realized the new wonder; the world had died in the night. What they were looking at was the first day of a new creation, with a new heaven and a new earth; and in a semblance of a gardener God walked again in the garden, not in the cool of the evening, but in the dawn.” Easter is the first fruits of that garden! The Gardener has returned to the garden. The Garden of the new creation.
