Sunday, April 1, 2024 is Easter Sunday. On this day the world is no longer a place of Helplessness and Hopelessness. You should consider the fact that the stone was not rolled aside so Jesus could get out, but so that all of us could get in…to see that Jesus has indeed risen from the dead, just as he had promised.

The Angel who announced the good news of the resurrection to the women gave them four messages 1.) “do not be afraid.” You see, the reality of the resurrection brings joy, not fear. When you are afraid remember the empty tomb. 2.) “he is not here.” Jesus is not dead and is not to be looked for among the dead. He is alive with his people. 3.). “come and see.” Realize that the women could check the evidence themselves: the tomb was empty then and is empty today. The resurrection is a historical fact. 4.) “go quickly and tell.” The angel’s message was that they were to spread the joy of the resurrection, and we too, are anxious to spread this, the greatest news about the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
