2 Chronicles 21:1-22:12; Ezekiel 40:1-49; John 17:1-26
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Matthew 28:6
Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” John 21:12 NKJV
Here are two facts attached to the Lord’s resurrection: the empty tomb, and broiled fish! On resurrection morning the angel showed those faithful women the empty tomb, and they were the first to spread the glorious news. Some time later, the disciples returned from a night of fishing and could smell broiled fish! The Lord had already eaten that with his disciples (Luke 24:42) and undoubtedly He did here again. C. S. Lewis, discussing the resurrection, said, “The resurrection of Christ was as literal as broiled fish”. The Saviour’s death was a literal death, and His resurrection is just as real!

Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Saviour;
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord! —Robert Lowry
