HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY:
“After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.” (Matthew 28:5)
It’s interesting that women went to look at the tomb. It’s also interesting that the angel spoke to women. The angel made it a point to say to them, I “KNOW” you are looking for Jesus. I love this portion of scripture.
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. Then, go quickly and tell His disciples. He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see Him. Now I have told you.” (Matthew 28:5-7)
“Precious Jesus,
As we celebrate this day, Your day of resurrection, thank You that You died for me. Thank you that You rose for me and didn’t remain in the grave after your death. Your death and conquering hell in the grave, ascending to resurrection with God, allow me to have life forever with You.
May today, this Resurrection Day, be a reminder of how much You love me, dear Lord.
Thank you for Your resurrection and Your love, which is evident to me; it is a love that knows no boundaries. You are worthy of all my praise, glory and honor. You alone are the God I serve.
As I celebrate today, Lord, I surrender all to You! Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power, wisdom, glory and honor. I praise You, Oh God, and I rejoice in the Name of Jesus on this Resurrection Sunday, now and forever.
In Jesus Name, I pray,
Amen.”
