Moment of Meditation: He Is Not Here (Matthew 28:6)

''He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay (Matthew 28:6).''

He told you He wouldn't be here. That's the angel's message. He has risen from the dead. He is no longer in the tomb.

Many people make pilgrimages to the Holy Land. They worship in the Church of the Sepulchre. Jesus' burial place. But He's no longer there. Just as He wasn't there on Easter morning.

Where is He then? Where He proclaims Himself to be. "Where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20). Jesus can be found where His people are gathered around His Word.

You can find Jesus in His Word. Open it today so that you might see Him. Amen.
