After Easter # 3
April 7, 2021
After Easter we wonder how people react to the celebration of this day of Jesus resurrection. At that time two guards knew the truth that Jesus left the tomb. As per their job description, they could have been killed. They accepted a bribe of silence.
But they knew! They saw the empty tomb. They knew his followers were shuttered behind close doors in fear. Money could keep them quiet, but not erase their memory, or deny the reality they knew. The guards opportunity is past. Did they later embrace Him as Savior? Give back the bribe and live with a free conscience until they joined Jesus in Heaven?
Humans can do mental and spiritual gymnastics to avoid making a decision about our living Christ. My friend, the tomb was and is empty. What is your decision?
