The Day after Death
April, 8, 2023
What Jesus says will happen actually does happen. He told the people before He died that He would rise again on the 3rd day, and they were afraid that His words were true. So, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to make sure the grave was sealed efficiently to make sure He couldn’t get out and to make sure no one could get in. But what they didn’t think of and didn’t realize is that there isn’t anything God can’t do. We should remember this too. No matter what we are facing in life, God can make a difference.
The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. 63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 “Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard. Matthew 27:62-66
