He Has Risen!!!!!!

Easter Week 7of7

 He has Risen 

“On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright, the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified, and on the third day be raised again.’ ” Then they remembered his words.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:1-8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Friday and Saturday were hard….. really hard. Sunday is here! Amen.

When the women went to the tomb it seemed their world changed. First, the Stone that blocked the tomb was rolled away. There were no longer active guards. The tomb was empty. V4 said they wondered about this. The emotions are this and much stronger in the other gospels so we know they were shocked and stunned. Then it all came together. Why because God sent a messenger to let them know what has happened was what was told to them. Jesus is alive! He rose from then dead just like said He would! Everything regarding the Messiah is true! Look at v5. This question is also for us today. It’s for us every day.

“Why do you look for the living among the dead?” They were confused.

The disciples were as well. They were starting to see very fast how what Jesus said was happening right in front of them and right now. “He is not here, He is risen” The penalty for sin was paid for on the cross. Here is proof that Jesus finished that work and lives. The tomb is empty. God reminds us of this in his word. The Holy Spirit reminds us of this daily if we listen. So to all who are reading this………” Why do you look for the living among the dead?” No reason to visit a graveyard to look for Jesus. Every day, every breath the truth is Jesus is alive. Don’t worry about bringing spices to honor the dead and cover-up decay. “He is risen” He raised the dead. He was raised. One day you will rise to the place He is preparing. Bring Praises! Carry Peace! Deliver Joy! Happy Easter!
