Moment of Meditation: Looking for Jesus (Matthew 28:5)
''But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified (Matthew 28:5).''
Who are you looking for? The women at the tomb were looking for the dead Jesus. But Jesus wasn't there. He had been raised. But they did not know that yet.
The women came to the tomb because they were listening to the prophets. Isaiah had once said, "Seek the LORD while He may be found" (55:6). But they weren't listening to Jesus. Jesus had said, "On the third day I will rise again." But they didn't hear that.
The women went to the tomb to find Jesus' corpse. They found an angel, sitting on top of the stone. "Fear not." You should have known better. "I know you seek Jesus." He's not here. Go where He said you can find Him. Find Him in His Word. Where your salvation by His death and resurrection is proclaimed. Amen.
