His tomb is empty so I don't have to be!
Soul Snack 9/103 ... Stealing Jesus!
A crime filled canopy shrouded her soul and shadowed her spirit.
The darkness and coldness of the empty tomb is reflected in her soul and mirrored in her voice as she cries out to Peter!
The cry of distress from a true lover of Jesus ...
'So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!" Jn 20:2
Still unaware of the good truth only ignorance prevails.
Is there anyhing worse than to know the Saviour and then not know Him?
Is there anything harder than loving the Lord before loosing the Lord?
Is there anything sadder than to be obscured from His enlivening truth?
Mary's personal state was as empty as Jesus' tomb was empty!
Satan still seeks to steal Jesus from all who belong to Jesus.
Jesus is stolen from my life when:
- I am happy with His absence,
- the draw of the world seduces from the draw of His Word,
- I am consciously comfortable with my sin.
- I silently acquiesce to ungodly influence and
- the truth about Him I still don't know.
His tomb is empty so that I don't have to be empty!
