Luke 24-Part2

LET IT GLOW

For whom are you running the race off life? Is it yourself or for Jesus? Today we find out who ran to tell the Good News.

Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? The women had come to Jesus' tomb to finish wrapping up Jesus in burial spices while they were wrapped up in sorrow, love, and no hope themselves. 

Matthew 28 tells us more details as to what the angel inside the tomb said to the women:

Go quickly , and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead: and, behold, He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him: lo, I have told you. (verse 7)

The women left quickly with fear and great joy. Mary Magdalene left immediately to tell Peter and John, apparently. They met Jesus, held His feet, and worshipped Him. (verse 9) Jesus also told the women the same message as the angel. The guards observed what happened, told the chief priests, took a bribe to say Jesus' body was stolen away during the night while they slept. This is a common saying among the Jews even today. 

Friend, what do you say happened to Jesus? Do you believe He arose from the dead? Keep in mind, the Scriptures are inspired by God.

LET IT GROW

Who were among the group of ladies that went to the tomb early that Sunday morning, the first day of the week? Luke tells us it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and other women. (verse 10)

How did the disciples take the startling news of Jesus was risen from the dead? They didn't believe the women and thought it was idle tales they were telling. Yet, Peter and John ran to the sepulchre. (verse 4)

Let's leave them for now. Tomorrow we will discover what they found or didn't find.

Is all of this Truth to you or just idle words?

There is no other way into heaven, dear one, but by believing in Jesus as God's Son, the Savior and Messiah. 

Run to Jesus, then run and tell others about His saving grace, gift of eternal life.

LET IT GO

Help us lay aside to weights that weigh us down so we can run the race of a Christian life for Your glory, Jesus.
