Unending Life and Love

That awful day finally ends when the Creator of the universe is crucified by His creation (Luke 23:44-24:12). But Love does not end. Jesus has meant so much to the women that they follow His body all the way to the tomb and then even go home and prepare spices and perfumes. He has meant so much to the women that after the mandatory day of rest, they come "at early dawn" on Sunday with the spices. The good news is that they weren't the first there. It seems like the Father was so excited about this event that He had not even waited for the sun to show up. The stone was rolled away, the tomb was empty, and we hear the two angels speaking those wonderful words, "He has risen".

And to think that the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead "will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you" (Romans 8:11). This is over the top!

Praise God for His unending life and love.
