Leviticus 13:24-59; Psalm 118:1-29; Mark 4:1-20
Lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead … Matthew 27:64
And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead … Matthew 28:7
Thinking they would thwart the disciples, the Pharisees sealed the stone and set a watch (Matt. 27:66). But the thought of taking Christ’s body and lying about it had never crossed the fearful disciples’ minds. Instead, a few women were directed to tell them the wonderful news that “he is not here: for he is risen” (Matt. 28:6). Don’t let Satan cause you to doubt. Believe God and rejoice in the truth today. “The Lord is risen indeed” (Luke 24:34). —Pete Smith
Thine be the glory, risen, conq’ring Son.
Endless is the vict’ry, Thou o’er death has won. —E. L. Budry
