Friday
Read Matthew 28:1-10
After the Sabbath, as Sunday morning was dawning, Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2Suddenly
there was a violent earthquake; an angel of the Lord came down from heaven,
rolled the stone away, and sat on it. 3His appearance was like
lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so
afraid that they trembled and became like dead men.
5 The angel spoke to the
women. “You must not be afraid,” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus,
who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has been raised, just as he
said. Come here and see the place where he was lying. 7Go quickly
now, and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from death, and now he is
going to Galilee ahead of you; there you will see him!’ Remember what I have
told you.”
8 So they left the tomb in a
hurry, afraid and yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
9 Suddenly Jesus met them
and said, “Peace be with you.” They came up to him, took hold of his feet, and
worshipped him. 10“Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to them. “Go and
tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
Think
On
Good Friday it seems strange to read about Easter Sunday. But as we witness Jesus' crucifixion we live
in hope - the new day is beginning.
Pray
Help
me to love you and worship you today.
