Friday April 21
Bible Reading: John 20: 1-18
Topic: I Have Seen The Lord!
The resurrection of Jesus
is the GREATEST EVENT in human history and marks the most profound
demonstration of God's Power.
In commemorating the
resurrection on Easter day we rejoice that we serve a Living God unlike
man-made religions whose founders are dead and buried. We also live in the hope
of resurrection to eternal life at the end of time.
In St. John's account of
the resurrection, Mary Magdalene from whom Jesus cast out evil spirits (Lk. 8:
2-3) stands out. She in appreciation dedicated her lifetime to serving the
Lord.
At the sepulchre when
others including two of Jesus' Disciples gave up hope of seeing Jesus' Body,
she tarried. She was rewarded by being the first to see the Risen Saviour and
Lord and to announce it to the world: "I have seen the Lord, and He has
spoken to me" (v. 18)
Have you experienced the
Risen Lord and the Power of His Resurrection?
And are you witnessing His
Resurrection to all around you?
If you are, be sure of His
promise "..... that your labour is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Cor.
15: 58)
Prayer:
Lord help me to always
appreciate Your grace upon my life brought by Your death and resurrection, Amen
Memory Verse John 20: 17
"Jesus saith unto
her, Touch Me not, for I am not yet ascended to My Father; but go to my
brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto My Father and your Father and to My
God and your God"
