April 3

Matthew 28

There are no witnesses to the moment of the resurrection. There is no explanation of how it happened. The woman arrive and they are simply told. They are stunned by the news. They have not expected his resurrection. As we read Matthew, we wonder how they did not see what was going to happen. How did they miss this repeated teaching of Jesus? What we have to remember is that the resurrection is not about the disciples, what the disciples understood or even what the disciples deserved. The resurrection is about God acting for us.

  1. I thank God for acting for all of us in this most remarkable way! What a sacrifice for us and what love is shown us! I pray that I can share His love with all those in our community and in our world.
