Resurrection – Day 3

Peter had seen Jesus cast out demons and heal the sick. Peter had his hands on the few loaves and a couple of fish that Jesus multiplied to feed 5,000 people. Peter himself had walked on water with Jesus. So why was the empty tomb such a surprise? Luke says Peter marveled. That means he was so astonished, he had to think it over to digest the information.

How often do we do the same? God has helped us navigate a financial crisis, healed us or a loved one from illness, or even restored a broken relationship. Why then do we doubt his power when the next crisis arises? Whatever you are facing today, take it to him. He’s strong enough to pay our price and defeat death. He can handle whatever we’ve got going on.
