run and tell

Saturday April 30th, Matthew 28: They ran to tell the disciples. Then Jesus met them, stopping them in their tracks. "Good morning!" he said. They fell to their knees, embraced his feet, and worshiped him. Jesus said, "You're holding on to me for dear life! Don't be frightened like that. Go tell my brothers that they are to go to Galilee, and that I'll meet them there." It is not about hanging onto Jesus, it is about telling others the good news. Jesus is risen and now the ball is in our court. Go tell the good news that hope is reborn in the world and in peoples lives. Go tell the good news that death ultimately holds sway over us no more. Go tell the good news that life begins anew each day and the sins that plagued our lives plague them only when we let them, because forgiveness is the name of the game and Christ is alive. Christ is Risen, Christ is Risen indeed!! Christ is Risen, Christ is Risen indeed!! Christ is Risen, Christ is Risen indeed!!
