Luke 24:3, 5, 6 - Why Are You Looking In A Tomb For Someone Who Is Alive?
Luke 24:3, 5, 6 (NLT) So they went in, but
they couldnt find the body of the Lord Jesus
Then the men asked, Why are you looking
in a tomb for someone who is alive? He isnt
here! He has risen from the dead!
COMMENTARY PEARL
Holy Week climaxes with the angels
proclamation at Jesuss empty tomb. His unexplainable
absence affirmed His credibility and proved that He
was who He said He was - the Son of God. Hed
battled evil and won. Heaven threw a victory party
that Sunday morning; Satan and his henchmen
sulked in defeat.
The resurrection validated a promise
Jesus made: I am the resurrection and the life.
Anyone who believes in me will live, even after
dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me
will never ever die (John 11:25, 26, NLT).
Jesus emerged the victor; and were
victors too. Not just over physical death someday,
but over the enemys attempts to defeat us
now.
The enemy wants nothing more than to
destroy us and seal us in an emotional, mental, or
spiritual tomb. Alone. Afraid. Helpless. Dead to joy,
peace, purpose, and passion. Dead to Gods
purposes for us and to all things related to His
kingdom. But Jesus made a promise and staked His life
on it, and that changes everything.
Jesus said, The thiefs purpose is
to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to
give them a rich and satisfying life (John
10:10, NLT). His resurrection confirmed this truth.
He burst from the grave fully alive and
victorious. Lets follow in His steps.
Jesus, we worship You. Thank You for
everything Youve done to give us life. Amen. by
