Dear friends in Christ, N'wokafu YESU KRISTO...
In the Markan account of the resurrection narrative, the young man (Angel) told the women, “do not be afraid! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified...he is not here. He's risen...Go, tell his disciples and Peter, He is going ahead of (before) you to Galilee.
Beloved, the risen Lord goes before us. He always goes before us in life. It is encouraging to know that He walks ahead of us in life and death.
He goes ahead of us to Galilee. This is so profound because Galilee is the place where it all started (it is where the disciples were called). It is also the place where we failed (Galilee of the Gentiles-a place where the disciples showed their lack of faith...). He goes ahead of us that we might start all over again. But this time with Him going ahead of us.
Beloved, the resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us a new start and a fresh hope. It gives us hope in the presence of the grave. It rolls the stones that stops us and begins a new story right where a huge stone had been.
PRAYER
Lord, your resurrection has given us a new dimension to hope. We now have the hope of a Savior going ahead of us both in life and in death. May this hope bring us joy, faith and love. Amen.
May God bless you.
