1-3At the crack of dawn on Sunday, the women came to the tomb carrying the burial spices they had prepared. They found the entrance stone rolled back from the tomb, so they walked in. But once inside, they couldn't find the body of the Master Jesus.
4-8They were puzzled, wondering what to make of this. Then, out of nowhere it seemed, two men, light cascading over them, stood there. The women were awestruck and bowed down in worship. The men said, "Why are you looking for the Living One in a cemetery? He is not here, but raised up. Remember how he told you when you were still back in Galilee that he had to be handed over to sinners, be killed on a cross, and in three days rise up?" Then they remembered Jesus' words. (Luke 24:1-8, The Message Bible)
In today’s world I am reminded Daily that I am “just a woman”. People often mis-quote the scripture about me being the weaker vessel which doesn’t really bother me. It’s funny how those not lead of Christ can think that me being “just a woman” would hinder whatever it is He has called me to do. It won’t. I may be “just a woman” but Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world.
Those women had no clue how they were going to roll that stone away nor did they care. Their one mission was to go and anoint his body with spices. No stone could stop them because they went anyway. When you allow Christ to truly use you, no stone can stop you. I pray that nothing hinders you from following through with what He and only He has called each of you to do.
In Christ Alone
No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the power of Christ in me; From life's first cry to final breath. Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no scheme of man, Can ever pluck me from His hand; Till He returns or calls me home, Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
