GLORY TO GOD!

GLORY TO GOD!

Glory to God! Though the news echoed throughout the heavenlies at the moment of Christ’s resurrection, the angels probably longed for God to turn on their volume in the earthly realm and announce it to the mortals. At the sight of the angels, the women fell on their faces. The celestial guards announced to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” The what? The living! “He is not here; he has risen!” (Luke 24:5–6).

Oh, glorious, merciful, omnipotent God! He is risen indeed! I cherish the next five words of the angels: “Remember how he told you” (v. 6). Beloved, have you forgotten something He told you? Christ, our Lord, is faithful to His promises. If you’re not presently “seeing” Him at work in your situation, do not live as if He’s lifeless and you’re hopeless. Believe Him and expect Him to reveal His resurrection power to you!
