He has Risen! He has Risen, Indeed! Part 8 - For those who have not seen this before, this week Ive tried to imagine what took place each day of Holy Week in the life of Christ. I wanted to be reminded that a lot took place between Palm Sunday and Easter. The most amazing part of all of this, for me, was the realization the He KNEW what was going to happen and He did it anyway. As Ive said all week, He boldly walked into His Sacrificial Death. If He kept a journal, this is what I imagine it would look like. Sunday---- Many of you reading this, centuries after Ive written it, identify yourselves as Christians. If you are one of those people you must know that everything that makes you a Christian is dependent upon the truth of this day. Early this morning several women - Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, and Salome - came to my tomb. My Father had an Angel waiting for them. They didnt know what to think when they saw the large stone covering the entrance to my tomb had been rolled away. The Angel told them to not be scared. It actually said, Dont be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isnt here! He is risen from the dead, just as He said would happen. I indeed have risen from the dead. My tomb is empty. But, I still need to see some very special people today. Probably, a better way to say it is that I need some special people to see me. Mary Magdalene was the first. Plus, Peter, two disciples on the road to Emmaus, and later today I will see the disciples except for Thomas, while they are gathered to pray. But, because Thomas is such a doubter Ill see him in a little over a week. This journal entry may actually be my shortest, but it is by far the most important. I have risen. I served as the sacrifice for YOUR sins. I need you to reach out to me. I want you to ask me into your life. I want to spend eternity with you & you with me. Just as I appeared to Mary Magdalene & the disciples, I will also appear to you. Just ask me to reveal myself to you & I will. I know some of you will doubt, just like Thomas. But, just as I appeared to him, I will also appear to you. I do not promise it will be in the way you expect me to, but I promise it will be in the way you need me to. I hope to hear from you soon. I will be waiting. Much Love To You All. Your Friend, Jesus
