Lincoln's Casket & Messiah's Tomb

Wednesday, April 21, 2021

Very few people know that Abraham Lincoln's casket was moved 17 times after his burial in 1865. But why? Mainly to hide it from being stolen and held for ransom. Who would do such a thing? Well, one night in 1876, six men almost succeeded in stealing it until they were frightened away by the custodian of the site. For the next two years, the coffin was hidden under a pile of lumber in the cellar. Where is the casket now? Since 1901, Lincoln's casket has been locked in a steel cage and buried in solid cement ten feet below the floor of the mausoleum in Oak Ridge Cemetery. Lincoln was a great man but Messiah is the greatest figure in human history. Yet no one guards Messiah's body today because He arose and is alive forevermore. And so the hope you have in your life, in Messiah, is something sure. The world cannot touch it. Thieves cannot steal it. So, take heart. He is not there. The tomb is empty. Your hope is well founded and the stone is rolled away. rn
