The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Matthew 28:1-7, “Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the
first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at
the grave.
2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord
descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
3 And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
4 The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are
looking for Jesus who has been crucified.
6 “He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place
where He was lying.
7 “Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and
behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold,
I have told you.”

The crucifixion of Jesus was hardly past when the two Marys returned to
tomb where He had been laid. It’s impossible to ascertain what all they were
saying as they walked together; still, it is understandable that their hearts had
been broken. Possibly, they were expecting to find that He had already arisen.

Subsequent to their journey, a “severe earthquake had occurred,” and possibly
they might have surmised it to be connected somehow with Jesus. In any event,
the ladies encountered an angel, and it was he who had come from Heaven,
rolled away the stone, and declared to them:

He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said.
Come, see the place where He was lying…
Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen
from the dead.

What the angel said to the two women now falls upon us. “Go quickly…
and tell…that He has risen from the dead.” His wish is our command.

Do you know Him? He wants you to know Him. And if you do, how long
has it been since you told someone about Him? Use my Gospel Tract
below.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,
