It's amazing to me as I read through all of the different Gospel accounts of the Easter story, how the disciple's really didn't anticipate Jesus resurrection. He had told them about His impending crucifixion, death and resurrection on three separate occasions, but still, when the THIRD DAY came, were they standing at the tomb? No! Instead, we find Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, among other women. They weren't anticipating His resurrection either, as they came with burial spices...But as you know, they never got to use them. They were surprised by the angels who asked them a question...
Luke 24:5, "...why do you seek the living among the dead?"
Great question! I think it's a question that needs to be asked in the culture in which we live...so many are seeking a fulfilling life among that which is dead.
This is one of the greatest things about the THIRD DAY! We have access to the Living God, who loved us so much He sent His one and only Son to die for our sins, and on the THIRD DAY was resurrected! GREAT NEWS!
The reason He came, was very clear...
John 10:10 (The Message) - I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.
