"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." Luke 24:5-8
Jesus repeatedly revealed His fate, God's master plan to the disciples, but amidst all of the chaos that surrounded His crucifixion, many of the followers were left doubting if He really was the Messiah. Imagine the sheer joy and excitement that they must have felt when they rolled away the stone from the tomb and His body was not there. All they found were burial linens and an empty grave.
Jesus appeared to two believers traveling and still downcast and not grasping that their Savior was in there presence, Jesus subtly reminded them of all of the Messianic prophesies and then disappeared.
Is Jesus who He said He was? Do you believe that He conquered the grave? Where does He fit into your life? If you have opened your heart to receive His love sacrifice and have accepted Him as your Lord over your life, there is no greater day than Easter...the day that our Savior conquered death and defeated the grave.
We may not feel like it every day, but we know with Christ in our lives how our story will end, we will be victorious!! Rejoice, and praise His holy name!!!!
