Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10
Message: Pilate, with the Jewish leaders, condemned Jesus and crucified Him on the cross. They also posted soldiers to guard His tomb to forestall Him rising from the dead. Inspite of all these, when the power of resurrection was released, Jesus was raised to life, Hallelujah! He defied the powers and wisdom of menand conquered death to become both the wisdom and power of God (1 Cor. 1:24), the resurrection and life (Jn. 11:25).
The resurrection of Jesus Christis the basis of our Christian faith and our message to the world. By implication, Jesus is not dead. He isalive for evermore. All who believein Him shall experience this resurrection and live forever with Himand this experience can only be possible when one is born again and dies in Christ. Again, the action of Mary Magdalene and others is challenging: They followed even when all hope was lost.
Do you follow God even when heaven is silent over your situation? The commitment of the women made them to be the first to receive the news of Christ’s resurrection from the angel. They saw Jesus face to face, worshiped Him and were filled with joy.In verse 10, Jesus called His disciples brothers. We too are his brothers if we obey His words.
Key Note: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; the God of my strength, in Him I will trust, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my Savior, You save me from violence.” (2 Samuel 22:2)
Prayer: Lord,grant me the grace to live by your standard and experience the resurrection power.
