Today at our church, we talked about the empty tomb, we sang about the risen Lord, we prayed in thanksgiving for the eternal life granted to us, but we didn't read the scriptures. The sermon text was from Luke 9 when Jesus asks his disciples who the people say Jesus is. The sermon was fine, even for being Easter and not using the Easter scripture, but tell me the story again of how the women went to the tomb and ran away in fear and joy! Tell me about the great earthquake and the angel! Tell me about how Peter lost the foot race to the tomb after he and the other disciple heard about the risen Lord!
We need to hear these stories again! Every Easter is an opportunity to hear these words again. We should read and say them every year and not just on Easter, but especially on Easter.
May we never tire of hearing this wonderful story, the greatest story every.
