Jesus' Resurrection

Our Bible Reading today tells us about Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. Mary Magdalene and some other women went to the tomb to put spices on Jesus’ body. A man dressed in white told them that Jesus was alive.

Verse 9 tells us about the first person who saw Jesus alive. “Jesus rose from death early on the first day of the week.  He appeared to Mary Magdalene. One time in the past Jesus had forced seven demons out of Mary.”

Jesus could have appeared first to religious leaders or other important people. Instead, Jesus chose to appear to a woman who had been demon-possessed.

After that, Jesus appeared to some of His followers. He reminded the followers to share the Good News about His death and resurrection with everyone they met.

I hope that you are serving and obeying Jesus. Be sure to tell someone today about Jesus’ death and resurrection. —NW

Mark 16:19 “After the Lord Jesus said these things to his followers, he was carried up into heaven. There, Jesus sat at the right side of God.”

PRAYER: Lord, I want to tell people about You today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
