Today we're reminded that Jesus' death was not the end of the story. Christ rose again from the grave and met with his disciples to encourage them for their ministry to the world. With the resurrection a new phase of ministry began, a ministry we continue today. Our calling is to share God's amazing love in Christ with the world.
Blessings on your weekend,
Sam
Matthew
28:1-10
After
the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary went to see the tomb. 2And suddenly there was a great
earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled
back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning,
and his clothing white as snow. 4For fear of him the guards shook
and became like dead men. 5But the angel said to the women, ‘Do not
be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6He
is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he
lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples, “He has been raised
from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will
see him.” This is my message for you.’
8So they left the
tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly
Jesus met them and said, ‘Greetings!’ And they came to him, took hold of his
feet, and worshipped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be
afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.’
