So Shall We

Mark 16:1-6 (NKJV)
¹ Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
² Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
³ And they said among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"
⁴ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away--for it was very large.
⁵ And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
⁶ But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

Jesus overcame death. He left the tomb. He is risen. He lives. Because He lives we have new life. The stone of the tomb was rolled away and He came out. In the same way, He rolls back the stone of sin in our life that keeps us in the darkness, bound in the chains of death. He calls us to come out to live, to really live in the fullness of life, into the light of the world, who is Jesus.

He who overcame death says that if we believe, put our trust and faith in Him, we will also overcome death. We will be with Him. How can we not believe the One who has already done this, who has demonstrated that He is the Son of God and that all power is His?

He has overcome death
So shall we
He has risen
So shall we
He lives
So shall we
He is with God
So shall we
