Text for the Day -- Matthew 28:1-7
----------
After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there
was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from
heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance
was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him
the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the
women, ‘Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who
was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said.
Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his
disciples, “He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going
ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.” This is my message
for you.’
Devotional
----------
The message of the angel is, "Go and tell and follow Jesus to
Galilee." The message of the event is, "Jesus is alive." Secondly, go
to see Jesus where he is. This apostolic witness to the living Christ
is the vehicle for delivering the truth of the resurrection to the
world. This message has been passed from generation to generation. It
is our turn to speak it and live it.
Prayer
-----------
Give me courage to speak the resurrection word and live the truth of
it myself, O Lord. Amen
