'The tomb is empty because He is risen!' - Bill Federer - http://www.wnd.com/2015/04/the-tomb-is-empty-because-he-is-risen/?cat_orig=faith
Bill Federer remembers statesmen, ambassadors, presidents who proclaimed Christ's resurrection
On George Washington's tomb is engraved the Scripture, John 11:25, where Jesus told Martha: "I am the Resurrection and the Life; sayeth the Lord. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die."
Martin Luther remarked: "Our Lord has written the promise of the Resurrection not in books alone, but in every leaf in the springtime."
Sir Lionel Alfred Luckhoo was the ambassador of Barbados and Guyana, the only person to have been an ambassador for two sovereign nations simultaneously. He was knighted twice by the queen of England, served as lord mayor of Georgetown, Guyana, and presided as judge of the Supreme Court of Guyana.
Sir Lionel Luckhoo was acknowledged in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most successful criminal attorney. He had spoken at the United Nations, to presidents, kings, parliaments, bar associations and cabinets all over the world.
After studying world religions, Sir Lionel accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior on Nov. 7, 1978. He stated: "The bones of Muhammad are in Medina, the bones of Confucius are in Shantung, the cremated bones of Buddha are in Nepal. Thousands pay pilgrimages to worship at their tombs which contain their bones. But in Jerusalem there is a cave cut into the rock. This is the tomb of Jesus. IT IS EMPTY! YES, EMPTY! BECAUSE HE IS RISEN! He died, physically and historically. He arose from the dead, and now sits at the right hand of God."
The well-known British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge wrote in his 1975 work, titled "Jesus": "As Man alone, Jesus could not have saved us; as God alone, he would not; Incarnate, he could and did."
On April 1, 1956, in an Easter address in St. Peter's Square, Rome, Pope Pius XII stated: "This year's celebration of Easter should be primarily a recall to faith in Christ, addressed to people who, through no fault of their own, are still unaware of the saving work of the Redeemer; to those who, on the contrary, would wish to have His name wiped out of the minds and hearts of nations; and finally, in a special manner, to those souls of little faith who, seduced by deceptive enticements, are on the point of exchanging the priceless Christian values for those of a false earthly progress."
On April 2, 1983, in a radio address to the nation, President Ronald Reagan stated: "This week Jewish families and friends have been celebrating Passover. ... Its observance reminds all of us that the struggle for freedom and the battle against oppression waged by the Jews since ancient times is one shared by people everywhere. And Christians have been commemorating the last momentous days leading to the crucifixion of Jesus 1,950 years ago. Tomorrow, as morning spreads around the planet, we'll celebrate the triumph of life over death, the Resurrection of Jesus."
Reagan continued: "Both observances tell of sacrifice and pain but also of hope and triumph. ... Men and women around the world who love God and freedom - bear a message of world hope and brotherhood like the rites of Passover and Easter that we celebrate this weekend. ... We want peace. ... And then they ask, 'Do you think that we can have these things one day?' Well, I do. I really do.
"Nearly 2,000 years after the coming of the Prince of Peace, such simple wishes may still seem far from fulfillment. But we can achieve them. We must never stop trying.'"
