Lo, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it; his appearance was as lightening, and his clothes were as white as snow. For fear of him, the guards trembled and became as dead men.
And the angel said to the women, “Be
not afraid I know that you seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified. He is
risen. He is not here. Why seek the living among the dead? Remember how He
spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be
delivered up into the hands of sinful man and be crucified and on the third day
rise again.’ Come now and see that place where He lay. (Then they remembered
His words.)”
“Go quickly and tell His disciples
and Peter that He is risen from the dead, and lo, He goes before you into
Galilee. There, you will see Him as He told you.”
Some went away with fear and
trembling and said nothing because they were afraid. Others went away quickly
with fear and great joy and ran to tell the disciples.
Prayer:
Father, how grateful we are for Your victory over death and the
assurance of eternal life with You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Scripture For Today: Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be
afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He
isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see
where his body was lying. And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he
has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see
him there. Remember what I have told you.” Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24
