Looking for the Living One in a Cemetery
24 1-3 At
the crack of dawn on Sunday, the women came to the tomb carrying the
burial spices they had prepared. They found the entrance stone rolled
back from the tomb, so they walked in. But once inside, they couldn’t
find the body of the Master Jesus.
4-8 They
were puzzled, wondering what to make of this. Then, out of nowhere it
seemed, two men, light cascading over them, stood there. The women were
awestruck and bowed down in worship. The men said, “Why are you looking
for the Living One in a cemetery? He is not here, but raised up.
Remember how he told you when you were still back in Galilee that he had
to be handed over to sinners, be killed on a cross, and in three days
rise up?” Then they remembered Jesus’ words.9-11 They left the tomb and broke the news of all this to the Eleven and the rest. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them kept telling these things to the apostles, but the apostles didn’t believe a word of it, thought they were making it all up.
12 But Peter jumped to his feet and ran to the tomb. He stooped to look in and saw a few grave clothes, that’s all. He walked away puzzled, shaking his head.
Luke 24:1-12 Message Translation
As I always say: hold your family close. Enjoy your day. May your troubles be few and small.
