The greatest day in History

This morning I was reading in Luke 24:1-8, which describes the greatest day in history.  It was the day that Jesus rose from the dead.  The women had gone to the tomb where Jesus laid and they found it empty.  Two angels appeared and told them that Jesus had risen and to go and see the place where He laid.  Jesus rising from the dead was the ending of a saga for mankind.  Just three days before the earth was dark and it seemed that God had turned his back on the scene but now on the Sunday morning all mankind had a new beginning.  The message of Christianity is one of salvation and redemption for mankind.  The central truth to this message is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Without the resurrection there is no forgiveness of sin.  Jesus' broken body and shed blood secured our salvation and with it with we have new life.  I love being saved and knowing that I have eternal and abundant life.  With that thought in mind, I encourage all of us to serve the Lord in such a manner that reflects these realities.  Like a life pleasing to God and you will have favour with Him and with man.  Be the Lord's ambassador and representative.  Be the bible that people read and reflect Him in every aspect of your life.
