Daily Devotion for April 17, 2006

To Jerusalem with the ComPassionate Christ
Day 48

The Journey From The Tomb on the Road

 

Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.  They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.  As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; Luke 24:15 

 

They were talking about everything that had happened!  I'm curious.  Will your conversations today include the Good News of the empty tomb?  Is Easter just a day once a year for dressing up and family dinners -or is it something that you will talk about with others – how the tomb is empty and how that makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the World?
 
The empty tomb is only a part of the reality.  What makes the difference in the disciples' lives are the conversations with the Risen Savior.  Jesus is alive.  His victory over sin has a lasting impact in our lives.  Everything is different from this day on.  Nothing will ever be the same!
 
Please take the opportunity today to talk to others along the road, so that they too can see Jesus. 

 

The empty tomb – ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD

 

Prayer: 
Risen Jesus, I give thanks that through Your death and resurrection, I have new life in You.  Please keep the reality of the Empty tomb alive in my life.  Please give me the opportunities and the words to share with others the New Life I have because of You.  Because You live I too shall live – WITH A PURPOSE.  Amen
