Luke 24 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 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 wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words.
For many people, this is the earliest Sunday of the year, as they rise early to go to Church. Hopefully you are among them. But why? To Remember the resurrection of Christ from the dead, just as He said He would do. Hopefully, as well, it is a reminder of the time when you came to realize His Resurrection makes a different for you - you have received new life through faith in Him. But that is not the end of the story. These women went on to report to others what they had seen and heard and experienced for themselves: the power of the risen Christ. May we do the same.
