He is Not Here!

Scripture: Matthew 28:1-7 

Focus verse: Matthew 28:6  "He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. "

 Caroline is a lady I met 2019 and preached to. Before then, she served as a bar maid and lived a life of adultery and was addicted to drinking alcohol. A few days ago I happen to pass where she used to serve. When I asked the bar manager about Caroline, he told me that after I preached to her and she accepted salvation, she left drinking, stopped working as a bar maid and ventured in selling second hand clothes for income. Above that he told me that the lady is walking with the Lord and committed to church. This was good news to me.  I was looking for her in the wrong place!

 

From our focus scripture, the women reaches the tomb where Jesus body was laid. They knew exactly where His body was laid. Upon reaching the tomb, they are met by an angel of God who tells them that Jesus is no longer in tomb. They are looking for Him in wrong place. He is risen! He no longer lay in the tomb. He tells them to go in and see where His body was laid as a confirmation that He is not in the tomb anymore. He tells the women to go and share the news of Jesus resurrection with others and they leave the tomb happily.
