Early on that Sunday morning the women who came to Jesus’ tomb intended to finish the burial preparations, but instead they found an empty tomb. An angel told them, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said.” (Matt. 28:5-6) Even though Jesus told them he would die and rise again, they didn’t believe it. It was only when they saw their risen Lord and experienced his presence that they believed. For nearly 2,000 years believers have affirmed that Jesus Christ has broken the power of sin and death. He is alive, and he is present in our midst to transform, sustain, and heal. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25). May God bless your week.
