I am in Day 28 of One On One: Days with Jesus--Passion.
Jesus came back!
This is such a significant point in history! Significant for many reasons but let’s make it personal! Place yourself in Peter’s shoes - which honestly it is easy for all of us ...right?
Three days of regret. Three days of sadness. Three days of defeat. Then the news. The most incredible news. The news that changed everything!
Peter couldn’t get to the tomb fast enough! He didn’t walk, he didn’t jog, it says he ran! What makes someone run instead of walk? What’s makes us move with a sense of recklessness? I would suggest it is because of the need! The need for redemption. The need for forgiveness. The need for purpose. The need to be back with Jesus!
Popular song titled "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" captures this thought. "Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love". I think this is where Peter was, and I think this is where we find ourselves at times...
May we also realize the need. May that need eclipse our excuses! May it make us not walk, not jog, but run...
Our faith in Christ is because of He came back is a truth we can anchor to. It is because He did, we have. We have the hope and the promise and the future in God!
“And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.” 1 Corinthians 15:17 NIV
