Today’s Scripture: Luke 24:23 NLT: They said his body was missing, and they had seen angels who told them Jesus is alive!
“Why are you looking in a tomb for someone who is alive?” You and I could be asked this same question of the angel to Mary.
Where are we looking for Jesus? Are looking for Him at all? I have to wonder if I, like Mary, in John chapter 20 just do not recognize Jesus although He is standing next to me at times.
Are we like Cleopas and his friend walking to Emmaus and not recognizing Jesus walking beside us? Jesus continues to open our eyes with His teaching today. Have not our hearts felt strangely warm? Like those two Jesus followers I will go and tell my story of how Jesus appeared to me. Do you have a story to tell of how Jesus is alive in your life?
Today’s Prayer: I praise and worship You Jesus. I know You are alive. I thank You for Your Holy Spirit that makes my heart feel strangely warm and I know Your Spirit lives there. Thank You for teaching me through your prophets, Your Scriptures and Your presence. I do believe Jesus that when I retell my story like the two from Emmaus; You yourself are standing there with me. Thank you! Amen
