The Road to the Resurrection

Sunday…Resurrection Sunday!

As soon as their Sabbath Day had ended, the faithful, devoted women left their residences, gathered together and, with their spices, began making their way to the garden which was just around the corner from Golgotha…to the tomb that they had been told contained the body of their sweet Lord, Jesus.  But why?  They were about to encounter the greatest “told ya so” ever…

Luke 24:1-9

1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing; 5 and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the Living One among the dead? 6 “He is not here, but He has risen! Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, 7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” 8 And they remembered His words, 9 and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

“The devil, darkness, and death may swagger and boast, the pangs of life will sting for a while longer, but don’t worry; the forces of evil are breathing their last. Not to worry…He’s risen!” ~ Charles R. Swindoll

Resurrection Blessings!! HE is risen!!
