Luke details the events of Christ’s resurrection in the 24th chapter of his letter. According to Luke, the women that had followed Jesus rose early the morning after the Sabbath and went to Jesus’ grave to prepare His body for burial. The approached His tomb as mourners, but after an encounter with angels, and seeing the evidence of the empty tomb, they departed as witnesses.
In this passage there are three main points that I believe we can hear and apply to our own lives this Resurrection Day:
1. Remember what Jesus has said
2. Return and share the good news with those that have yet to hear
3. Run with the redemption that Jesus has given to us
I pray that the Resurrection of Christ would be much more than a reason to celebrate, that it would be a constant motivation to run the race for the prize!
