Message Title: Right When You Thought it Was Over
Scripture: Luke 24:1-6
Right When You Thought it Was Over
April 1, 2018
To many times we go to church like
the ladies we are about to read about. In where we go already expecting to do
our religious service and then trying to figure out how we will remove certain
obstacles on our life. Not realizing that we are serving a true living God.
Now on the first day
of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them,[a] came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 But
they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 Then
they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And
it happened, as they were greatly[b] perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in
shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said
to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He
is not here, but is risen!
We can not go into a church service not understanding the
very thing that is in our way, our stone, no matter if it’s a sin or some other
problem that God has already removed it for us due to his Son’s finished work.
Jesus has risen. There’s nothing left to be done. Don’t live as if you serve a
messiah whom you can go and visit his body somewhere.
Whatever it is you are going through. Whatever you thought
was dead, your marriage, sickness, any one of the billion problems there are
that one might have. Please understand, that just like these women who thought
it was all over and they were just going to put the final touches on the
situation. That God has another plan. Just when you thought it was over. Just
when you thought there is nothing left to be done? Remember he has risen! Jesus
is alive! He died and rose again just like he said he would. For every sin, for
every heartache, for every person. Young, old, educated, non-educated. Rich the
poor, the sick the healthy. All races, all nationalities. Just when you thought
it was over remember. We don’t seek a living messiah among the dead.
