I love the question that the angels asked the women when they came to upon the empty tomb - why do you look for the living among the dead?
What a powerful question! Of course they were speaking about looking for Jesus in the place of death, when really he had been raised to life, but, friends, don't we, too, look for the living among the dead? Aren't there ways in our life that we look to be given life by things that we know will simply lead to death?
The angels question still is pertinent to us today. It still rings true. Why do we look for life amongst things that bring or mark death? And how can we come to God and asked to be changed?
For that is truly the beauty of this day. That Christ has given us freedom and victory over these things that want to claim us for death. If only we come to him to be set free!
