All Things New - Easter, Life in grave places
March 31, 2024 • Pastor Glenn Garvin • Luke 24:5
With minds still swirling and whirling, because death and grief never allow for a moments rest, three unlikely grouping of women; Mary Magdalene, a former hostel for several demons, Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod’s household manager, and Mary, mother of Jesus, arrived at a borrowed Airtnt (tomb and trough) before the crack of dawn, Sunday morning. Luke tells us they went into Joseph of Arimathea’s private burial cave because the massive stone had already rolled away. They were looking for Jesus, but the crypt was uninhabited! Ah, except for two men in dazzling clothes. The women were terrified and bowed down in reverence. The men asked the ladies a profound question, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” Great question! How do we find life in grave places? Let’s talk about it this Resurrection Sunday!
