“The angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as He said” (Matthew 28:5-6).
It is hard to imagine the grief of the women as they came to the tomb early that Sunday morning. Then to be greeted by an angel who assured them that the Lord was risen, must have been an incredible, impossible-to-describe moment in their lives. Then a few moments later, the risen Savior personally greeted them! What joy! All is changed because the Lord Jesus lives. Do you personally know this risen Savior? He alone can forgive your sins and change your life!
For today: In your heart, celebrate the Lord’s resurrection. He arose! Amen
