Easter People

Matthew 28:5-7 NRSV

“But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then 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.”

We are to come and see and go and tell it. Jesus is not dead. The only things in the tomb are dead things. Too many times we have searched in the tombs for life - we found death. The tombs hold our sin issues, this things that keep us bound. But only our resurrected Savior brings life as he has conquered all things dead.

When we understand what Jesus has done for us we can rejoice. We can tell our story that what helps another. Each one of us has a rejoicing. Each one of us has gone through something that we have now left in the tomb. And some may be moving through now. but God!

Because he loves us so much we don’t stay with the dead stuff, we shrug off our grave clothes to rejoice! Hallelujah! We are Easter People. People resurrected from our sin issues. All because of Jesus! Happy Resurrection Day! enough for now
