Text: Matt. 28:1-8.
” 1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy, and did run to bring his disciples word.”
Resurrection is the “spiritual receipt” that was given for Christ’s Sacrifice on The Cross of Calvary. The price for our deliverance, fruitfulness, and all of God’s Blessing has been paid by The Lord Jesus Christ through His Resurrection. The Price has been paid for whatever you are suffering from; be it sickness, shame, He fully paid for all. Isaiah 53.
Easter is a Day of Celebration, Good news, and Purpose being restored. It is a Day of Thanksgiving for all the Resurrection gave us.
