Matthew 28 -- Hope For Us, Too

How scared and disillusioned they all must have been.  It surely seemed as if all their hopes had been dashed and all their plans had come to nothing!  There was only some wrapping-up to do before the humdrum side of life would come crashing back in.  But they’d forgotten that they weren’t dealing with just any man – Jesus was the Son of God …

 

… And when they saw Him, their disbelief and disenchantment turned into hope and praise.  Life wasn’t ever going to be the same again, for now they had proof that there was hope beyond the grave, and they had a story to tell!

 

Father God, the resurrection power of Your Son pulled me out of my spiritual grave and gave me new life right here, right now.  I don’t doubt anymore, and I want others to believe and know what You’ve shown me.  Empower me to do that and give me opportunities to tell the story, just as You did these men and women!

 

Your Brother In Christ,

Gary Ford
