DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 11; Psalms 113-115; Mark 2:23 to 3:12
He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place
where the Lord lay. Matthew 28:6
Thus the angel answered the women at the empty tomb. But how
could it be? They were the last to see Him buried there by Joseph.
Soldiers later were stationed at His sealed tomb. “For He is risen”.
Why should it not be? He is the sinless Son of God. Death and decay
could not hold Him. He had prophesied it Himself (Matt. 17:23) and
it was “as He said”. So just believe it; and like Thomas, put aside all
unbelief and acclaim, “My Lord and my God”. —K. C. Ung
Behold the stone is rolled away! And shining ones have come to say:
“He is not here, but is risen! He is not here, but is risen!”
The night of death is past and gone. Arise, and greet the glorious morn!
“He is not here, but is risen! He is not here, but is risen!” —D. W. Whittle
