Luke 24:1-12
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’” Then they remembered his words. When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened
Reflection
Last Sunday was the celebration of Easter. The resurrection of Jesus Christ, as recorded in this passage from Luke, was the focus of Easter Sunday. However, the risen, living Christ should be the focus
of every day. Jesus and his victory over sin and
death. and the new life that he gives to each of us
who follow him, should be a reality that we live with every moment of every day. The resurrection power
of Jesus is not just for Easter. That power is something that we need to connect to on a
continuous basis so that we have the strength to live the life that Jesus is calling us to.
Do you live your life in the resurrection power of Jesus?
Do you seek the resurrection power of Jesus on a daily basis?
