DAY FOURTEEN
Read Luke 24:1-12
Oh He has risen!!!
An empty tomb!
Re-write what the two men said to the women who found them empty grave in verse 5 here:
Read John 20:3-9. Peter and John were the first disciples to reach the tomb to see for themselves what the women had claimed of the empty burial. And even through they didn’t fully believe, they realized that God had been at work and understood that what had been prophesied (Ps 2:6-8; Is 53:10-12; Hosea 6:2) about Jesus had come to pass… He was alive!!!
Pause and Ponder: Verse 4 of John 20 tells us that it was John, the writer of this Gospel, who “outran Peter” to the tomb. The Passion Translation gives a short answer for this by telling us, “Love will always outrun curiosity.” John, well known as the One Whom Jesus Loved, was an authentic lover of Jesus. In fact, his entire Gospel account is depicted through the lens of a lover. He knew Jesus, perhaps, more intimately than the other band of misfit brothers did. Journal your thoughts about what it means to love Jesus verses being curious about Him. Ahh… intimacy and relationship will always trump knowledge.
Suggested Prayer: Jesus, help my unbelief! May I always remember the amazing work You did in the resurrection and may I always understand Your miracle of amazing, amazing grace! Amen.
