HE IS RISEN!!!


Matthew 28:1-10 (NLT)

The Resurrection

28 Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow.The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.
Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.”
The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message. And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them,“Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.”

He is risen just as He said!!! Hallelujah!!! Our Lord is risen!!! If  this is only a story to you and you have never known the power of the Resurrected Christ, will you accept His free gift of salvation today? All He went though on the cross was for us, friend. To receive that gift, confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved(Romans 10:9-10). What a privilege we have been given! Have a blessed Resurrection Sunday!!! Let us join the women in going to tell others!!!
