Matthew 28: After
the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of
the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and
sat on it.3 His
appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.4 The guards were so afraid of him that they
shook and became like dead men.
============
Lying in bed I felt the house shake a little. It did not
move too much, just enough to wake me up. I immediately went back to sleep only
to find out the next day that the area had a mild earthquake. Cool I thought to
myself!
- Sometimes I underestimate the power of GOD.
- Sometimes I get desensitized to things happening around me.
- Sometimes I read devastation in the news and don’t even think twice about it.
Earthquakes are not cool! In fact a huge earthquake happened
when CHRIST died. This passage describes a second earthquake and an appearance
of an angel. Fear filled the guards and they fainted at the sight of the angel.
I thought about the recent earthquakes around the world.
- GOD wants me to know that HE is still in control of the earth and when it quakes.
- GOD wants me to know that humans do not control earthquakes, but HE does.
- GOD wants me to know that through devastation, HIS love is still there for all.
Wait! An earthquake showing love!? Yes! JESUS’ resurrection
was so powerful that it caused a major earthquake. Something wonderful happened
that all the doubters could not believe. The liars tried to seal the tomb to
keep someone from stealing the body, but they did not account for this person
being GOD.
HE shook the earth and rose from the grave. This powerful
earthquake was just a sign of the power of CHRIST!
- Is your life quaking right now?
- Do you feel things are falling apart and you have no way to fix them?
- Can you look for the power of GOD to come through in a mighty way today?
Dedicated to the earthquake victims around the world
