"Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood."
Acts 20:28
weekly message
“The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.’” (Matthew 28:5-7)
As the women went to the tomb that morning, they were met by an angel who told them the good news that Jesus had risen from the grave! Can you imagine their surprise?! There were 4 messages that the angel brought them:
- “Do not be afraid”- the resurrection brings joy, not fear
- “He is not here” – Jesus is not dead – HE IS ALIVE!
- “Come and see” – The tomb was empty; the women could see for themselves
- “Go quickly and tell” – they were to spread the joy of the resurrection. We too, are to spread the joy and good news of Jesus.
“He is not here, he has risen!” – Alleluia and Happy Easter!
