Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025

Scripture: Luke 24:1–12

Devotion:
The women come to the tomb expecting to grieve, but instead they find the stone rolled away. Angels proclaim, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen!” Their sorrow turns to shock—and then to joy.

This moment is more than a miracle. It’s the breaking of a pattern. For all of human history, death had the final word. But now Jesus has shattered that ending. The tomb is empty. The story is alive. And resurrection changes everything.

The resurrection means that no place in your life is beyond hope. Not your pain. Not your past. Not your grief. Easter is God's declaration that restoration is not only possible—it’s already begun.

Action Steps:

• Take a walk outside and name signs of new life you see.
• Call someone today and say, “Christ is risen!” Share the joy.
• Write a note to yourself: “Resurrection is real for me.” Keep it where you’ll see it this week.

Prayer:
Risen Christ, I praise You for defeating death and offering new life. Let Your resurrection power awaken hope and joy in me today. Amen.

Breath Prayer:
Inhale: He is risen…
Exhale: I rise with Him.
