He is Risen – Daily Journal
Matthew 28 ESV
28 Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he[a] lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” 8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
Just a few thoughts as I think and reflect on the story of Easter.
Reading this story and imagining the events of that day are makes me think of how I would react and feel.
Very interesting how these events are how we as humans have decided to label time. (BC and AD) Before Christ and After Death. It does not matter your culture, background, beliefs, religion…We have this reminder on dates. Something to take notice of…old and new,..a new beginning…we are considered to be living “in the year of the Lord” (AD).
