Mark 16:6-7
“And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.”
Jesus told Mary to tell Peter, SPECIFICALLY.
He wanted her to tell the disciples, and Peter.
The one who followed afar off, during the trials. The one who denied Him, 3 times.
He wanted him to know.
By singling him out, he was letting Peter know that Jesus still cared about him. Jesus still loved him. Jesus still wanted him. Even after all his recent shortcomings and failures.
Jesus still wanted Peter.
He wanted him to know that it isn’t over. He walked out of the tomb, alive. Forgiveness flows freely because of the resurrection.
Jesus wanted Peter to know that there was still hope. He could still finish well, even though he had fallen so short.
Maybe you’ve failed recently.
Maybe you feel unworthy to get right with the Lord.
Let the personal message of the resurrection to Peter encourage you.
Jesus wants you.
Jesus still loves you.
Jesus is worthy for you to repent and start fresh.
He abides faithful.
And he still wants you
Easter is all about a Savior who wants you so much that he laid down on YOUR cross, suffered your punishment, and got up on that third day for you!
Without the resurrection, we have no hope.
He wanted Peter to know, that he was not without hope!
And neither are you.
He’s alive.
You have hope because he’s alive.
You can be forgiven because he LIVES.
The resurrection is all about Jesus, but it was all for you.
Happy Resurrection Day 🤍
