| | | "As Easter time approaches, let me share with you the tender story of
an eleven-year-old boy named Philip, a Down"s syndrome child who was in a
Sunday School class with eight other children. Easter Sunday the teacher
brought an empty plastic egg for each child. They were instructed to go
out of the church building onto the grounds and put into the egg something
that would remind them of the meaning of Easter. All returned joyfully. As
each egg was opened there were exclamations of delight at a butterfly, a
twig, a flower, a blade of grass. Then the last egg was opened. It was
Philip"s, and it was empty! Some of the children made fun of Philip. "But,
teacher," he said, "teacher, the tomb was empty." A newspaper article
announcing Philip"s death a few months later noted that at the conclusion
of the funeral eight children marched forward and put a large empty egg on
the small casket. On it was a banner that said, "The tomb was
empty."" | | | Unknown
