00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.259
I'm thinking today of a verse in Mark 16, 7,

00:00:04.419 --> 00:00:09.119
and it says, But go your way, tell his disciples

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.839
and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee.

00:00:12.539 --> 00:00:15.500
There shall you see him, as he said unto you.

00:00:15.859 --> 00:00:19.000
Here, the young man at the tomb is speaking with

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:23.780
Mary Mary and Salome. When they have bought spices

00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:28.219
to come and deal with the body of Jesus in the

00:00:28.219 --> 00:00:31.760
tomb, They find the body is gone, and this man

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.079
is there to tell them. And, you know, church

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.539
tradition says, and we're pretty sure, that he

00:00:38.539 --> 00:00:41.659
was an angel delivering the message. And they

00:00:41.659 --> 00:00:44.560
were told that Jesus was alive and would be awaiting

00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.539
the disciples and them, for that matter, in Galilee

00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:51.320
when they got there. This was a fulfillment of

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.960
what Jesus had promised in his lifetime, and

00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.740
that's pretty awesome. It was an amazing thing

00:00:56.740 --> 00:00:59.649
that Jesus had come back to life. But it's kind

00:00:59.649 --> 00:01:01.369
of weird that they didn't accept it considering

00:01:01.369 --> 00:01:04.629
all the miracles that he had performed. At the

00:01:04.629 --> 00:01:06.989
same time, we can't accuse them of anything because

00:01:06.989 --> 00:01:11.469
with what Jesus has done in us, we have a lot

00:01:11.469 --> 00:01:14.590
of doubt, a lot of anxiety that maybe we shouldn't

00:01:14.590 --> 00:01:19.150
have. So let's take our cue from the young man

00:01:19.150 --> 00:01:22.590
at the tomb. Don't worry about it. Jesus is there

00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:25.620
for you. Jesus loves you and is working on your

00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:27.700
behalf, and he's going to keep all the promises

00:01:27.700 --> 00:01:30.959
he has made. Let us trust Jesus and meet with

00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.840
him, not just once, but regularly, until that

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.340
time which we go to be with him permanently.

00:01:36.739 --> 00:01:40.500
Praise God that he's arranged that for us. Word

00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:43.019
of encouragement, this Saturday at New Heights,

00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.340
