” Then the men asked, ‘ why are you looking in a tomb for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He has risen from the dead! Don’t you remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and that he would rise again on the third day.’ ” Luke 24:5-7
When Jesus came to this earth, he came with a mission and a purpose to fulfill. He came to save you and me from certain death, with no hope after death but hell itself. On Good Friday he died a horrible and humiliating death, one that you and I could never withstand. He was placed in a tomb as though dead and buried. However, as 1 Peter 3:19-20 tells us, he was on his way to preach to those who disobeyed God long ago, when God waited patiently while Noah was building the boat. The final step of his journey took him to set at the right hand of God the Father in heaven where all of the angels and authorities and powers are bowing before him. It is because of you and me that he took this journey. Easter is a day that we celebrate his rising and remember that it is he who allows us to live. HAPPY EASTER!
