📖 At the crack of dawn on Sunday, the women came to the tomb carrying the burial spices they had prepared. They found the entrance stone rolled back from the tomb, so they walked in. But once inside, they couldn’t find the body of the Master Jesus.
They were puzzled, wondering what to make of this. Then, out of nowhere it seemed, two men, light cascading over them, stood there. The women were awestruck and bowed down in worship. The men said, “Why are you looking for the Living One in a cemetery? He is not here, but raised up. Remember how he told you when you were still back in Galilee that he had to be handed over to sinners, be killed on a cross, and in three days rise up?” Then they remembered Jesus’ words.
⎯Luke 24: 1-8 The Message
Jesus is alive! Jesus came to the earth, and He fulfilled His mission. The grave could not keep Him. After Jesus paid the price for the sin of humanity, God raised Him from the dead. The people that would receive Him, would no longer be subject to Satan. The people that received Him would no longer be subject to the curse of sickness and disease. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ sealed our victory. Jesus took the keys of hell and death. We are now seated with Him at the right hand of the Father. We are now His joint-heirs. We are now the children of God. Praise the Lord, our Savior is alive!
