Fruits of the Risen Saviour
“In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre” (Matthew 28:1).
It is inexpressible how sad a Sabbath the women and the disciples experienced after their Lord and Saviour was laid in the grave. Nevertheless, they rested according to the commandment, but it had hardly begun to dawn when they were at the place where the body was laid. It did not only begin to dawn in nature; it also began to dawn in the heaven of God’s providence concerning Messiah’s work of redemption. After much sorrow, joy comes to all upright hearts. This was also confirmed to these women who, wanting to anoint a dead Jesus, received a living Jesus instead. This clearly shows that all the spices God’s people prepare are worthless when Christ reveals Himself to their soul and when the Father puts His seal on His own finished work. Fear not, downcast Church, the Lord precedes you with His own work. Jesus has risen for your justification.
