"Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen." Luke 24:5 (Read also Luke 24:1-12) Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! What incredible joy this passage of Scripture brings to us, as we read, re-read, and hear this passage read to us in the days following Easter! The women find the stone has been rolled away from the tomb. They find not the body of Jesus but two angels who say that Jesus is alive! Do we ever fail to believe the things Jesus has told us because they are impossibly good? "He is not here, but has risen" means that someday the graves of all His followers will be opened, and they, too, will rise to live with Him. Take comfort and joy! He has done this for you...for your students and their families...for us, disciples of Christ Jesus! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Dear Lord Jesus, in keeping with your Word, fill our hearts with the knowledge, assurance and comfort of Your empty tomb. Help us to LIVE in that knowledge in all our actions because you LIVE for us! Amen. -Rachel
