On the Third Day - Remember

But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. So they went in, but they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes. The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, "Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn't here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what He told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that He would rise again on the third day." Then they remembered that He had said this. So they rushed back from the tomb to tell His eleven disciples—and everyone else—what had happened. Luke 24:1-9

The Empty Tomb - Jerusalem

The tomb was empty…and then they remembered what Jesus had said. He would rise from the dead…on the third day. Puzzled and terrified. It was hard for them to understand what happened…and was happening. Jesus fulfilled the promise. He was obedient to the Father. He suffered rejection by His creation—the very people He came to minister to and save. He suffered humiliation of beating, being spit on, mocked and cursed, and ultimately of being crucified on a cross. He died for the sin of mankind. His resurrection provides salvation and gives us hope—hope and a future. An eternal home with Him.

Will you accept that He died for your sin? Ask for forgiveness and joyfully accept what Jesus Christ has done for you?

Prayer ~  Jesus—we rejoice in Your resurrection.
