Itās Sunday.
Mary Magdalene and some friends head to the tomb to anoint Jesusā body. When they arrive the stone is rolled away.
The tomb is empty.
An Angel appears and tells them - Donāt be afraid. I know youāre looking for Jesus but he isnāt here. Heās risen from the dead, just as he promised he would.
A risen Jesus has walked out.
Fearful but joyful all the same, the women go to tell the disciples as instructed.
Along the way Mary encounters Jesus. Jesus assures her - donāt be afraid. He sends her back on her way to inform the disciples.
Mary finds the disciples and insists Jesus is alive. Theyāre doubtful. But, just as he said he would, Jesus reveals himself to the disciples.
He gives them these instructions - go out unto the nations and preach the good news. Teach them to obey the commandments I have given. Those who believe will be saved and those who refuse to believe will be condemned. And remember, I am with you always.
Jesus ascends into Heaven. He sits down at the right hand of the father. He remains there today.
Death couldnāt handle him.
The grave couldnāt hold him.
Heās alive. Risen. King of kings. Lord of lords.
A promise fulfilled.
Do you know him?
Today is Sunday. Thank you Jesus, for Sunday.
