For Resurrection Sunday, April 17, 2022:
Matthew 28:2 NLT: “Early on Sunday morning, there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it.”
The weight of the stone and the ferocity of the Roman guards were no match for God’s angel! He rolled the stone away from Jesus’ tomb, and then sat on it!
This was the first Easter Sunday morning. Two women had come to tend to Jesus’ body, but the angel told them, “He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Now, go quickly and tell his disciples.”
We now know that Jesus had returned from the place of the dead, having left the sins of the world there. And now death could not hold him! Jesus conquered sin and death on the same day! Everything played out just as he predicted! Everything Jesus said became truth!
Happy Easter!
