April 12

Introduction

An angel rolls the stone from the tomb, revealing that Jesus has been raised to life. The women rush to tell the disciples; and on the way, they meet the risen Christ. Later, Jesus appears to his disciples on a hill in Galilee and tells them to go forth and make disciples of all people.

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 28:20b

[Jesus said:] “I will be with you always, to the end of the age.”

Today’s Reading 

Matthew 28:1-20

Reflect

The risen Christ appears first to the women. What does he say to them? Jesus commands his followers to make disciples of all people. In what ways do you carry out Jesus’s command? How can you be an extension of Jesus’s love and grace to others?

Pray

Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Thank you, God, for Jesus’s resurrection and the hope that he offers. Send me forth to make disciples, showing Christ’s love to all people. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those in need of resurrection hope
