He is Risen

 Guest Blog by Gary Riedel

S - SCRIPTURE: Matthew 28:6 He is not here, for He is risen, as He said. Come see the place where He lay.

O-OBSERVATION: Imagine the shock on the women’s face as they heard the first phrase the angel spoke; “He is not here”. And then the rest of the sentence, “for He is risen, as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. And only minutes later they actually got to see Jesus. Hallelujah, praise God! Can you imagine their excitement, when they actually took hold of His feet vrs9, and worshipped Him! I find it interesting that Mary Magdalene, the forgiven prostitute, who anointed His feet with oil, was among the first two people to see the Resurrected Jesus. A beautiful example of the truth of God’s Grace and forgiveness through Christ Jesus!

A - APPLICATION: “He is Risen!” “He is Risen indeed, Hallelujah! That’s the beautiful cry I never tire of hearing as it echo’s throughout all Christendom on Resurrection Sunday! This is the day when we all know beyond a doubt that Jesus was victorious over sin death, and the power of the devil

P - Prayer: Heavenly Father, we pray that all who hear the words “He is risen and he is risen indeed, Hallelujah,” will know that Jesus is victorious and that we will all share that great and glorious news! In Jesus Name, Amen
