I have seen
the Lord! What an amazing statement—and imagine the expression on her face as
she made this announcement to His disciples, her close friends. She was undoubtedly
glowing—like Moses, her face was radiant with the reflection of the glory of
the Lord. Scripture doesn’t tell us that—I’ve just imagined that Mary Magdalene’s
joy was shining forth as she shared the news that Jesus was alive. Jesus was
alive. Resurrected. What does that mean to you? Here at the end of July we don’t
often think of Resurrection day—that was in March or April. But we celebrate
Jesus resurrection everyday—or should—as we worship Him. He is God. What other
god has been “resurrected” from the dead? There are mythological stories of
death and resurrected gods, but it seems that Jesus is the only true God that
died and lived again. Search that information out for yourself if you still
need to be convinced.
RSVP: Jesus is challenging you today to see Him as the
Resurrection and the Life. How will you respond to Him today?
Prayer ~ Jesus, You claimed, "I am the
resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies…"
in John 11:25. I believe in You. I praise You and honor You today. Like Mary
Magdalene, I see with all of my heart, soul and mind that You are the risen
Lord—You are Lord of my life.
