For He Has Risen!
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. 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 and see the place where he lay.
– Matthew 28:2-6
Notice how the angel of the Lord bypasses the guards and speaks to women about the resurrection. God chose to reveal His truth to a people group who, in that day, could not even testify in a court of law. God’s love challenges our paradigms in order to free us to be the children of God. As the apostle Paul wrote, there is neither male nor female in Christ. What was scandalous in the 1st Century becomes freeing for all of eternity. The resurrection is an event that includes everybody!
Some may not believe that Jesus was crucified, then rose in three days, and that's okay because the proof is in the fact that you are here, in this world, alive and breathing. Jesus gave you this, he gave you life, for he is your Father, your King. You should always praise Jesus for his commitment to us. We are dirty, flithly, sinful people who continue to live in sin reguardless of the reasons. So kneel in front of him and declared your love and faithfullness to him, Thank him for giving up his life for us to be the people we are, the people we have become. He will strip you down and show you his love. He will carry all your burdons. But you have to cry out to him. Show him that you know he loves you and forgives you, for he knows all. Jesus came, spoke what he knew to be true and for that, he was crucifed. He came back in three days and proved to us that he loved all. He stood before all and said to words, "Follow Me". -John 21:19. You can believe or not. But everyday that goes by, you walk with him. Our life with Jesus is always. Since he is already there why not "Follow Me". You have nothing to lose.
