Christ’s resurrection gives all mankind access to huge benefits. Blessings like a spiritual family, an eternal home, and a great purpose.
As Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome walked toward Christ’s tomb to anoint His body properly, they were leaning on each other for strength. Who will be with you in your darkest day or when you face your greatest need? The answer is always the same – FAMILY. Unbeknownst to them they had become family.
They were walking towards a tomb wondering “who will roll away the stone” for them. However, when they arrived, the “very large” stone had already been rolled away. By doing this Christ had given all mankind access to a PERMANENT DWELLING PLACE IN HEAVEN with Him. No longer would death have the sting of sin nor the grave have the victory.
And as they fled the tomb in fear their hearts were filled with A NEW PURPOSE – to tell the world Christ is risen from the dead.
Mark 16:1–8 (ESV) — 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.
Friend, do you belong to God’s eternal family, traveling towards His eternal Home, while living the greatest purpose?
