MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Easter Day Sunday April 12, 2020
Text: Jesus Christ Has Risen!
Text: Matthew 28:1 – 10
Today,
we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We thank God
for such a privilege. Mary Magdalene and her colleagues came to the tomb with
the mind to anoint the body (Luke 24:1) but the met an empty tomb.
The
angel who announced the good news of the Resurrection to the women gave them
four messages:
(1) Don’t
be afraid. The reality of the resurrection brings joy, not fear. When you are
afraid, remember the empty tomb.
(2)
He isn’t here. Jesus is no more among the dead and is not to be looked for
among the dead. He is alive, with His people.
(3)
Come, see. The women could check the evidence themselves. The tomb was empty
then, and it is empty today. The resurrection is a historical fact. (4) Go
quickly and tell. They were to spread the joy of the Resurrection.
Resurrection
of Jesus is the cornerstone of Christianity and that is why many people
especially in my clime will defy stay at home to go and worship. If Christ
didn’t rise from death, there wouldn’t have been any gospel today. Our gospel today
is simple; Jesus died for our sins and rose again so that if we believe in Him,
we will have eternal life.
One
of the messages the angel gave was go quickly and tell them. This was also the
injunction Jesus gave as He resurrected. How far are you “telling” others about
this good news? If we are not doing that, it means that we are ashamed of Him
and He will deny us at the end (Mark 8:38).
Food for Thought: If Jesus didn’t resurrect, what would have been our position
today?
Memory verse: Matthew 26:32
Prayer: O Lord
my God, may I never be ashamed of telling people about you. A site your Boss will not want to visit
