He is Risen, as He said But the angel answered and said to the women, Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Matthew 28:5-6. It appeared that the enemy had won. Jesus Christ was tortured, deserted, hung on a cross and died in shame. He was buried in a tomb and a large stone place at its entrance. In addition there were soldiers guarding the tomb. The women who loved and remained faithful to Jesus wanted to show their last act of love, which is to embalm His body. The women set out early and it was only on their way to the tomb they asked each other, Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb? They certainly were not strong enough but their faith was strong, their love was strong and their hearts were strongly passionate for the cause of Christ. Little did they know that they would experience the greatest miracle of their Risen Savior - Jesus, by His own power rose again, even as an angel rolled away the stone of His grave. Here are some Resurrection Principles for Miracles: 1) Move towards your miracle even if you havent figured it all out. The women didnt know how they were going to get to His body but they started out with what they had. Your faith and actions will release the supernatural. 2) God will meet you at your point of faith. When the ladies went to the tomb the stone had been rolled away. They didnt have to do what they were unable to. You do what you can and God will do the rest. 3) Believe in the word of the Lord. The angel said to the women, Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Matthew 28:5-6. Whatever God promises, He can and will perform. He had boldly declared: After three days I will rise again. He did. Whatever God has promised you, He will! Kingdom Declaration: My God is greater than all that I face in the present, my past and my future. He is in control.
