Happy Resurrection Sunday! Let’s look at the
excitement shared in Matthew 28:1-10.
1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the
week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven
and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His
appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4
The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel
said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for
Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just
as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go
quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead
of you into Galilee . There you will see him.’
Now I have told you.”
8 So the
women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell
his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They
came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said
to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee ; there they will see me.”
He has risen indeed! Live the
resurrection of Christ every day of the year.
Don’t be afraid – Go tell
somebody. Amen!
