Summary: I serve a risen Savior, He's in the world today, I know that He is living whatever men may say, I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer and just the time I need Him, He's always near....He lives (Try reading that without singing it!)
Mark 16:1-7-Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large.
And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.
But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
They weren’t going to a Resurrection Morning Service, they going to a Burial!
They were going to Graveside Service!
They were going to a Funeral!
But the same power that raise Jesus from the dead, is the same power that is available to you, It can resurrect your career, It can resurrect your reputation, It can resurrect your marriage, It can resurrect your finances, It can resurrect your relationship with your kids, and yes, it can resurrect your kids relationship with you!
That same power can resurrect that joy, you once had!
That same power can resurrect that peace, you once had!
Who got to see Jesus first, who got to see the empty tomb first? The women!
Why? Was it because they were women? No! It was because they were going and doing something for God, for their fellow man!
They got early in the morning to prepare the body!
If you want to see a fresh vision of Jesus, then you got to be doing something!
You can’t be sitting on your duff and expect to see something great from God!
They had seen Jesus before but they were fixing to get a new vision of Jesus!
They were fixing to see Him some way they had never seen Him before…Resurrected!!! In The Power Of His Blood!!!
You want a fresh vision Jesus, then do something for Him!
Let me tell you, they had doubts…They said, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” but yet the went!
You don’t have to all the answers before you do something for Jesus!
You can still have some doubts whether it all going to work out!
You can still have some doubts whether you are going to be successful or not!
But they continued on, they went on their journey, they were going to what they was suppose to do, and guess what, when they got there the stone had been rolled away!
If you will do what you are suppose to do, a lot of times, the obstacles they were going to hinder you from being successful will be gone, will be removed!!!!
Somebody needs to say, “AMEN!”
You need to do like these ladies did, YOU NEED TO WALK TOWARDS YOUR MIRACLE!!!!
