“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!”
Luke 24:6
The two women that came to anoint Jesus’ body in preparation for His burial were surprised and grieved even deeper when they found Him missing from the tomb. Their grief must have been overwhelming to think that someone had stolen their Lord’s body.
But then the angel spoke and asked, “why are you looking for someone that is alive here among the dead?” Now, they were not only sad, but probably very confused.
Then Jesus appeared and made Himself known to them! What joy overflowed in their hearts. The promise He had made was real, it was true! He said He would die and then would rise again to life and He did! The women’s joy was restored!
As we look for things to bring us peace, joy, contentment and salvation let us not look among the things that the world offers.These things will only bring death and destruction. But let us look to our Risen Savior that is ALIVE, and wants to give us salvation, restore our joy and set us on a path of right living for HIm.
Then let us proclaim boldly: “He is risen! He is risen indeed!”
