SUNDAY, 20 APRIL
TEXT: MATTHEW 28:1-15
TOPIC: HE’S ALIVE
Wow! It is Easter Sunday. Jesus has risen and is alive! The devil and his cohorts have been put to shame.
All of their security architecture and surveillance were disarmed. The soldiers were sternly warned to safeguard the tomb against the possible theft of Jesus’ body by His disciples (Matthew 27: 64-66).
However, the conspirators did not understand that death cannot defeat Jesus, neither can the grave hold Him.
An earthquake dislodged the soļdiers on duty, and a single angel rolled away the stone placed at the entrance of the tomb.
The blazing appearance of the angel turned the security guards into dead men (vs. 4). The angel assured the women of His resurrection and told them not to be afraid because Jesus was alive.
No amount of bribery could pervert the truth of His resurrection. From the grave, He arose with a mighty triumph. He arose a victor from the dark domain. And He lives forever with His saints to reign forever and ever.
QUESTION
Is Christ alive in your life?
PRAYER
Father Almighty, may the power that rose Jesus from the death be alive in me as I live for You, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
