Tuesday April 18
Bible Reading: Luke. 24: 1 - 12
Topic: An Empty Tomb
In this version of the
resurrection story, two men met the women with the glorious news of Christ's
resurrection.
In contrast to the
mournful shadows of the tomb, their garments were brilliant and seemed to
illuminate the tomb.
They asked the terrified
women: 'why are you looking for the living among the dead? He is not here, He
is risen'.
Even though He had told
them of the Cross and the Resurrection, they didn't understand the message or
the meaning of His Words - until now!
Like the women, we are
often very slow to understand and appropriate all that God has promised us in
His Word. Be encouraged to believe that God will always keep His Word.
Jesus Christ conquered
death, the grave and hell forever and continues to give eternal life to all
those who place their faith in Him.
In 1 Cor. 15: 12- 15, Paul
tells us that if Jesus hadn't risen from the dead, we all would have reason to
grieve.
If you are trapped in sin
and see no avenue of escape, the good news is that Jesus died and rose again to
set you free.
If you come to Him, He
will be there to hear you, to help and to save you.
Jesus is Alive!
Prayer:
Thank You Father for the
proof that Jesus lives, Amen
Memory verse: Luke. 24: 7
"Saying, the Son of
Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the
third day rise again"
