He Has Risen

"He is not here, He is risen, just as He said..." Matthew 28:6

 Today we celebrate Easter. The day that Jesus overcame the grave. Like He had promised all of the world that He would. He literally told the people of His time that He was to be killed on Friday, but not to worry, because He was going to come again on Sunday. Now imagine being told that. Imagine having that idea placed into your head. Sounds like it would be kind of difficult to process doesn't it? Well isn't that true with all of the promises He makes to us?
 Think about it this way. We may have dark days in our lives. Days when we feel like everyone is against us, where there is a huge difficulty. Well, even Jesus endured this, that Friday on the cross, and yes that is far worse than any of our difficulties we are facing now, but He said that, despite His difficulty He was facing, He was going to come back. He was going to defy the odds and rise from the tomb He was in. And you know what? He kept His promise, just like, despite your difficulty that you are facing today, His promises still endure the hardships, and He always keeps those promises. And, as the people of the world heard and saw that Jesus had indeed kept His promise and had risen, they believed what I am telling you today. They knew that He did keep His promise, for indeed, "He has risen."
