The LIGHThouse Guardian
December 17, 2024
And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay…”
– Matthew 28:2-6
– Matthew 28:2-6
RECAP: WHAT DID I MISS?
Here is not here. Only a CRUCIFIED Savior is worthy of WORSHIP. Yet, the foundation for our faith is THE RESURRECTION. He is Risen! This is why the symbol of our Protestant traditions is the empty Cross. Christ is not dead. He is alive! Our salvation is made complete in the eternal hope due to Christ being risen. Without Christ, there would be no hope. And it is in his glory, we get a glimpse of the blessings to come.
