Christ is RIsen

In Luke, Chapter 24:1-6, it gives the account of the women returning to the grave of Jesus:

"Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared and certain others with them.
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pas, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed own their faces to the earth, they said unto them, why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee? Saying, "The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

Can you imagine the surprise of the women, not only to see that Jesus' body was gone but to meet two messengers who remind them of Jesus' very words? He told them that he would be dead and rise again when he was speaking in Galilee. We can take comfort in the fact that although the crucifixion was in a way sad and somber, though necessary for our salvation, Jesus is now alive, risen and reigning in power and glory at the right hand of the Father. Usually, we think of this at Easter time, but it is good to be aware of this great miracle and truth every day. In a world where we see sin and destruction, we can take comfort in the power of the risen Lord in our life.

As you go about your day, ask God to help you to walk in the spirit in His power and strength.

God bless you and have a great day!
