Introduction

The women who go to the tomb discover that Jesus has risen from the dead. They go to tell the apostles, but the apostles dismiss their claims. Yet when Peter runs to the tomb, he sees only Jesus’s clothes lying there and wonders what happened.

Today’s Scripture: Luke 24:7 (GNT)

‘The Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, be crucified, and three days later rise to life.’ 

Today’s Reading 

Luke 24:1-12

Reflect

How did the apostles react to what they were told by the women who had gone to the tomb? Why do you think they reacted that way? What made Peter decide to run to the tomb? Have you ever been told something that you found hard to believe?

Pray

Jesus Christ, today we celebrate the good news of your resurrection! You amaze us with your mystery, wonder and grace. Give me faith and wisdom, that I may understand and experience your abundant love. Alleluia! You are risen! You are risen indeed! Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those seeking to have a relationship with Christ
