Jesus is Risen...just as He said
Jesus is Risen..just as He said
April 5 - 11
"The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come see the place where he lay.'” (Matthew 28:5-6)
Devotional: When the women arrived to the tomb where Jesus was laid, they had an unexpected encounter. An angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled back the stone and sat on it. The angel said to them “Don’t be afraid. You are looking for Jesus. He is not here!” These women came to the tomb with their hopes crushed but it was quickly revived by the Good News that Jesus was not there! They remembered Him teaching the disciples that He would die but on the third day He would be raised so that those who were dead in sin would also be raised to new life in Him. The Good News is that Jesus is not dead... He is alive! Resurrection Sunday is a day when Christians gather to celebrate with joy and to welcome the lost into relationship with Him. The angel brought the Good News. The women were instructed to go tell it! So should we to go and tell the loss… Christ is Risen, Hosanna!
Prayer: Gracious and loving Father, on this Resurrection Sunday, help us celebrate Our Risen Savior and to share the Good News of the gospel which brings eternal life.
Reflection Question: Do you know someone who has lost hope? Share the Good News of Christ with them, then invite them to join in the celebration on Resurrection Sunday!
