Sunday
📖 Matt. 28:1–15; Mark 16:1–8; Luke 24:1–49; John 20:1–24
Early in the morning, the women went to the tomb. They brought spices—not hope. But when they arrived, the stone had already been rolled away. The angel said, “He is not here—He has risen.” Everything changed that day. Grief turned to joy. Fear became courage. The resurrection of Jesus is not a symbol of renewed spirit, but a historical fact that changed human reality forever. He lives—and because He lives, we have a hope that cannot be destroyed.
Jesus appeared to Mary. Then to the disciples who were afraid and hiding. They gathered in a locked room—not with great strength, but with flickers of faith that were barely burning. Like embers about to die out, they stayed together, unsure of what to expect. And it was there that the Lord appeared. He did not rebuke them for fleeing or doubting—He showed them His hands and side, and said, “Peace be with you.” That peace didn’t come from a calm situation, but from a victorious Redeemer. Death could not hold Him. The power of sin was broken. The path to eternal life was opened. And all of this was not because of our strength, but because He completed the work of redemption to the end. In that fragile fellowship, God rekindled the flame of faith among His people.
Today is not merely a remembrance—it is the celebration of a real and living victory. The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of our faith, the source of our strength, and the assurance that every one of His promises is true. We no longer live in the shadow of the grave, but in the light of the resurrection. So let us live with deep joy and steadfast faith. Christ is risen—He is risen indeed. Alleluia!
