I'm thinking today of a verse in Mark 16, 7.
And it says, But go your way, tell his disciples
and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee.
There shall you see him as he said unto you.
Here, the young man at the tomb is speaking with
Mary Mary and Salome. When they have bought spices,
they come and... deal with the body of Jesus
in the tomb they find the body is gone and this
man is there to tell them and you know church
tradition says and we're pretty sure that he
was an angel delivering the message and they
were told that Jesus was alive and would be awaiting
the disciples and them for that matter in Galilee
when they got there this was a fulfillment of
what Jesus had promised in his lifetime and that's
pretty awesome It was an amazing thing that Jesus
had come back to life, but it's kind of weird
that they didn't accept it considering all the
miracles that he had performed. At the same time,
we can't accuse them of anything because with
what Jesus has done in us, we have a lot of doubt,
a lot of anxiety that maybe we shouldn't have.
So let's take our cue from the young man at the
tomb. Don't worry about it. Jesus is there for
you. Jesus loves you and is working on your behalf
and he's going to keep all the promises he has
made. Let us trust Jesus and meet with him, not
just once, but regularly until that time which
we go to be with him permanently. Praise God
that he's arranged that for us.
