… Hoped, past tense. Hope was gone. But everything was going to change. Everything was going to turn around. And I love what Luke 24 verse 1 says. But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb. But there was a divine interruption. But it was all part of God's plan. It's not like this caught God by surprise. As Peter pointed out on the day of Pentecost speaking of the death of Jesus this was God's well-ordered plan. It was always what God had intended. But I love that but early Sunday morning. Just a few words can make a difference, can't they? How about dinner's ready? Those are happy words. And my wife says, dinner's ready. I'm happy because I'm going to have another wonderful meal made by Kathy Laurie. Or I do. That can change the course of your life as you stand at the altar and give your vows to your husband or wife-to-be. I won't. That can keep you on the right course of life. I am sorry. Oh those words can diffuse an argument. Some assembly required that can strike terror into a parent's heart as they are trying to get that toy built for Christmas morning. And now we have but very early on Sunday morning. A few words change the narrative in their lives and ours. And I have two words for you now that can change everything for you. And the words are simply this. But God. But God. God will always have the last word. Take …
… the first verse of the 24th chapter of the gospel according to Luke. I'm going to read from the English Standard Version translation of the Greek New Testament. It reads, but on the first day of the week at early dawn they went to the tomb taking the spices they had prepared and they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. But when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, why do you seek the living among the dead he is not here but has risen remember how he told you while he was still in Galilee that the son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise and they remembered his words and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the 11 and to all the rest you may be seated in God's presence I want to put tag on this text and for a few moments with your prayers I want to talk about from being shook to experiencing him cook from being shook to experiencing him cook Has life ever sucker punched you? …
very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, and they went in. But they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men, angels, of course, stood by them in dazzling clothes. So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground. Why are you looking for the living among the dead? Asked the men. He is not here, but he has risen. Remember? Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee saying, it's necessary that the son of man be betrayed into the hands of sinful men. It's necessary that he be crucified and rise again on the third day. and they were like, oh yeah, oh yeah, he did talk about that a lot. They remembered his words. One sentence uttered by an angel that changed the course of history. He is not here, but he is risen just like he said. You know, there's a tradition dating all the way back to the early, earliest days of the church. Little house churches, groups of believers scattered all across the Roman Empire. …
