Lent Devotion | Day 40
Matthew 28:5-6 (NIV) The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." What a wonderful day on the first Easter morning for the women that ran to see the grave of Jesus. There was an angel that greeted them and he told them they didn’t need to be afraid, and that the tomb was empty because Jesus had risen. They must have been very scared but at the same time, very excited. Christ had risen from the grave just like he said he would do, and they were the very first to see an empty tomb! Life would never ever be the same. Our sins were wiped clean. For all the followers of Jesus, our lives would change and the history of the world would change as well. Because Jesus rose, we now have the Holy spirit working in us and helping us to share this good news to all the world. This is a day to celebrate! Nothing will separate us from the love of God
