TELL ME A RIDDLE

TELL ME A RIDDLE
Hey, do y'all remember this old riddle?
Q. Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?
A. General Grant, of course.

How 'bout this one?
Q. Who is buried in Muhammad's Tomb?
A. Muhammad, of course, 'cause he is still there. Well, at least what is left of his body is stll there

And this one.
Q. Who is buried in Jesus' Tomb?
A. NOBODY, NO BODY, 'cause He is risen as He said.

Footnote...
Jesus never was buried in "Jesus' tomb." He was buried in the borrowed tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea, because He only needed it for a few days.

Matthew 27:57-63
(57) When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
(58) He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
(59) And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
(60) And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
(61) And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
(62) Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
(
63) Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
