Good morning!
Text: Matthew 17-19; Psalm 65
As today is Resurrection Sunday, I am going to break from the pattern and not blog from our reading schedule. Today I invite you to look at Luke’s account of Jesus’ resurrection in Luke 24. When some of His followers arrive at the tomb and find it empty, they are visited by two angels who say,
“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.” (Luke 24:5-6).
Think about the challenge offered – “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” Is that not how the world looks for life? They look among the dead and dying things of this broken, fallen, deceit-filled world. It is no surprise that all they can find is death. But for those who seek the life and the living by turning to the Living God and to His risen Son who lives, there is life – beautiful, abundant and everlasting life. Praise God for the resurrection of Jesus and for the life we can have in Him. I hope and pray that you know that life. If not, it’s yours for the asking – if you just turn to Jesus and trust Him. He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed.
in Him, Mike
