The church often talks about the cross what Christ achieved for us on it. The early church in the book of Acts didn't talk about what Christ did on the cross. All twelve sermons in Acts talk about what Christ made possible through the empty tomb. The tomb is empty. Jesus loves you. He is alive and hears your prayers. That is the message of every spiritual revival in history. It is the resurrection that changes everything.
