Recently articles pointed out that the traditional tomb site fits into the proper timeline for Jesus’ death and resurrection.

It may date to the 1st century, which is good news for the churches that claim ownership of this part of the Old City. However, no one may know for sure in this lifetime that it is the tomb and it is sure that He is no longer there.

The disciples and the women had all the right info (that Jesus would rise again) and still get it wrong. They mourn Jesus yet weren’t listening or couldn’t process the game-changing information Jesus had shared again and again: He was coming back! So they wept and mourned, bought spices and wrapped the body and placed it in Joseph’s tomb. This isn’t the end of the story.
