On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 'The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.'" Then they remembered his words.
Luke 24:1-8
This was part of the passage that we looked at at church. What stood out the most for me was the women who went to look for the body of Christ in the tomb. They had forgotten about what Jesus said to them before He died - the fact that He was going to come back alive in three days. The women were in sorrows, not remembering what Jesus had told them. They remembered only when the angels reminded them. I think I am very similar with the women. I easily forget that God is in total control and I try going my own way, as if I know what's best for me. I may realize God's greatness at a moment, but I'm quick to forget when situation changes, especially when the troubles come in my way.
I'm thankful for God's only Son Jesus. Through Him, I not only know how much God loves me, but I also know that my sins are forgiven and have eternal life. Hope you all got to ponder upon God's overflowing love for us through Jesus Christ this Easter.
Happy Easter!
