He is Risen! He did not stay dead!!
Resurrection Sunday 2025!
Matthew 28:1-8
“Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat on it.
His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women, do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus Who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you. So, they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to bring His disciple’s word.”
Until then, the disciples and many believers had known Jesus as Christ, the Son of God. But on this day, they will come to know Him as Christ, their Lord and Savior. Today is the day we acknowledge that Jesus the Son of God was raised from the dead and became Jesus, Son of God, and Savior to all those who believe on Him.
On a day like today, with the resurrection of Christ from the dead, the relationship with the Lord of every believer and of every person who wants to believe, becomes personal. Christ was crucified. The Son of God was buried in a tomb. But Christ the Son of God and now savior of the world was raised from the dead.
To those who believe, now at the dawning of every day we do not have to go to a tomb to see Him. He lives in our lives. We simply need to never allow the stone of unbelief to be rolled across our hearts.
To those who believe, the Lord can still send His angel to us, but we have the privilege to have the Lord Himself come to us and encourage our faith and our belief. His life in us is His proof to us that we do not need to be afraid He may be a dead Savior. He lives in us.
To those who believe, because of a day like today, we can go tell the world of the place where the living Lord now wants to go. Much like He went before His believers to Galilee, today He is now going to the hearts of every believer.
Believers don’t need to go before Him to any place. He is coming to you. To those who believe, their heart is the place where He will see them. Their heart is the place in which He will show Himself in all the fullness of His life.
So, as we acknowledge His resurrection from the dead, His risen life, and His new life in us, lets go out quickly today and every day from the tombs of our old lives. Let’s allow Him to bring to life a new life in us, a life that He shares with us.
And let’s run with joy among all peoples and bring them word that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world, is indeed risen from death and alive in heaven with God and in the hearts of all those who believe on Him.
Live a Delivered Life. Love you.
