So, It’s Thursday, not Sunday. But that doesn’t diminish what happened on Sunday: read these words from Matthew’s Gospel: “Early on Sunday morning,[a] as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.
5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7 And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.” (NLT2)
What you have just read is the account of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ…
I have delayed in posting this for a few reasons… I’ve been experiencing some liver-related complications; but more importantly than that, the Resurrection of Jesus is just as meaningful today as it would have been if I had posted something on Resurrection Sunday. Because Jesus is alive, every day is resurrection day. Every day is a day to celebrate! Jesus rose again from the dead and He is alive and He is sitting a the right hand of the Father at this very moment! We can rejoice.
He offers us hope each and every day of the week. Because of what took place on a Sunday morning so many years ago, we can live our Thursdays and our Friday’s and every other day of the week.
Rejoice, for Jesus is alive!
