Today’s Reading: Matthew 28:3-9 / Hebrews 10:11-18
Today’s Verse: He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Matthew 28:6 KJV
Every year at Easter Time we have reason to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior.
We know that Jesus died once for us all (Romans 6:10; Hebrews 10:12 KJV).
Christ died for our sins. He was buried. He rose again on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV).
After paying the price for our sins on the cross, the sinless Jesus conquered death.
He rose from the grave and broke the power of sin.
It was the final sacrifice of His blood that conquered sin and death.
His sacrifice opened the only pathway for us to have a relationship with God.
A relationship meant to last from now until we journey home with Him forevermore.
The Savior promised that He is preparing a place for us, and He will someday return (John 14:1-4 KJV).
One day we will be with our risen Savior. Heaven will be our Home.
“I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalms 34:1 KJV).
As disciples of Christ our communion with Him should be spiritual.
By faith in the Word we happily learn more about His love for us.
As His disciples let us testify that, “He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay” (Matthew 28:6 KJV).
This world is not our home.
Therefore let our hearts rise and seek the things that are above.
The Savior’s resurrection is a cause for our celebration every day of our lives.
Let us take the time each day to thank Him for the sacrifice He made for us all.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Savior, living, You loved us. Dying You saved us. Buried, You carried our sins far away. Rising, You justified freely forever. And one day You are coming back for us. Oh what a glorious day that will be. Thank You Savior for all that You have done for us. You made the ultimate sacrifice.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
