00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.379
I'm thinking today of a verse in Mark 16, 7.

00:00:05.099 --> 00:00:09.160
And it says, But go your way, tell his disciples

00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:11.960
and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee.

00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.580
There shall you see him as he said unto you.

00:00:15.939 --> 00:00:19.079
Here, the young man at the tomb is speaking with

00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:23.879
Mary Mary and Salome. When they have bought spices,

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:27.789
they come and... deal with the body of Jesus

00:00:27.789 --> 00:00:31.629
in the tomb they find the body is gone and this

00:00:31.629 --> 00:00:36.229
man is there to tell them and you know church

00:00:36.229 --> 00:00:38.649
tradition says and we're pretty sure that he

00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:41.770
was an angel delivering the message and they

00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:44.689
were told that Jesus was alive and would be awaiting

00:00:44.689 --> 00:00:48.649
the disciples and them for that matter in Galilee

00:00:48.649 --> 00:00:51.850
when they got there this was a fulfillment of

00:00:51.850 --> 00:00:54.909
what Jesus had promised in his lifetime and that's

00:00:54.909 --> 00:00:57.630
pretty awesome It was an amazing thing that Jesus

00:00:57.630 --> 00:01:00.530
had come back to life, but it's kind of weird

00:01:00.530 --> 00:01:02.450
that they didn't accept it considering all the

00:01:02.450 --> 00:01:05.629
miracles that he had performed. At the same time,

00:01:05.629 --> 00:01:08.549
we can't accuse them of anything because with

00:01:08.549 --> 00:01:12.349
what Jesus has done in us, we have a lot of doubt,

00:01:12.510 --> 00:01:15.269
a lot of anxiety that maybe we shouldn't have.

00:01:16.030 --> 00:01:19.909
So let's take our cue from the young man at the

00:01:19.909 --> 00:01:23.390
tomb. Don't worry about it. Jesus is there for

00:01:23.390 --> 00:01:26.430
you. Jesus loves you and is working on your behalf

00:01:26.430 --> 00:01:28.909
and he's going to keep all the promises he has

00:01:28.909 --> 00:01:32.549
made. Let us trust Jesus and meet with him, not

00:01:32.549 --> 00:01:35.750
just once, but regularly until that time which

00:01:35.750 --> 00:01:38.069
we go to be with him permanently. Praise God

00:01:38.069 --> 00:01:39.609
that he's arranged that for us.
