Luke 24:1-12
“But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb,
taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from
the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling
apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the
men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead, He is not here,
but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that
the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified
and on the third day rise.” (Luke 24:1-7 ESV)
As one who has found the way out of the fog
into the light, out of darkness into the brightness of the Son, what a joy it
is reading Luke’s account of this very special Sunday morning. It brings to mind a song we sang at Lay
Renewal meetings many years ago; “I Marvel At The Wisdom Of My God.”
Chorus
I marvel at the wisdom of my God.
I marvel at the wisdom of my God.
When I see the little lilies pushing up the heavy sod,
I marvel at the wisdom of my God.
The Lord said, "Let the weak say they are strong."
But I wondered in my heart if He was wrong.
Then I saw the little lilies pushing up the heavy sod,
And I marveled at the wisdom of my God.
Chorus
O they crucified the Father's only Son.
When they laid Him in the tomb they thought they'd
won.
But just like the little lilies, He pushed up the heavy
sod.
I marvel at the wisdom of my God!
Chorus
I marvel at the wisdom of my God.
I marvel at the wisdom of my God.
When I see the little lilies pushing up the heavy sod,
I marvel at the wisdom of my God.
The Lord said, "Let the weak say they are strong."
But I wondered in my heart if He was wrong.
Then I saw the little lilies pushing up the heavy sod,
And I marveled at the wisdom of my God.
Chorus
O they crucified the Father's only Son.
When they laid Him in the tomb they thought they'd
won.
But just like the little lilies, He pushed up the heavy
sod.
I marvel at the wisdom of my God!
Are
as the famous message states so well, “It’s only Friday, but Sunday is coming”. If you are still living in the fog and
darkness of this world, ask Jesus who is the Wisdom of God, and the power of
God, the overcomer of Death and the Grave to push back the heavy sod of sin
that holds you, and come out into the light of His forgiveness and love. For Friday has come and gone but Sunday is an
empty grave, death and sin have been conquered, and Jesus is the Victory.
