Great News!
Scripture reading for February 7th: Leviticus 5-8, Matthew 28
Key Scriptures: Matthew 28:1-5 “Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know you seek Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, for He has risen. . .”
Matthew’s account of the resurrection of Jesus describes the two Mary’s going to Jesus’ tomb and after experiencing an earthquake, seeing an angel of the Lord sitting on the stone which had been rolled away from the tomb’s mouth. The guards were like dead men. The angel recognized the women and told them not to be afraid. Jesus was alive from the grave! What awesome news!
Exodus 8:34 “As has been done today, the Lord has commanded it to be done to make atonement for you.”
Prayer: Father, thank You for sending Your son Jesus to die in my place. May I walk in freedom from fear of death because of Your Son’s perfect obedience. Amen.
