Text: Luke 24:1-6 (English Standard Version)
1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead?6 He is not here, but has risen.
Takeaways:
- Jesus rose from the dead…just like He said he would!
- Why do we insist on living defeated when we are inhabited by a Savior that rules and reigns and is very much alive?
- In dying He destroyed our death, in rising He restored our life. (ht: Matt Redman)
