Today’s reading is Luke 24:1-35
“and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:9-12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Luke says, “But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.” I’m surprised that Peter was with the apostles. He had denied Christ publicly and seen his leader for three years crucified by the government he hoped to take over. Did Peter have a reason to play the victim? Do we ever get down because we didn’t do something we should have done or things didn’t work out as we thought they should? At those moments, do we listen to our feelings or to the promises of God? When we know who we are in Christ, even these events will not derail our hope. Please pray that we and our friends seek and know the promises of God. Please pray for Stewart Bruce as he is recovering from major surgery.
