FIDELITY

Readings:
Acts 10:34-43
1 Corinthians 5:6-8
Colossians 3: 1-1
John 20: 1-9

The women followers of Jesus were shattered by his death. The men, scattered. "You will all lose faith in me this night," Jesus had said to them after the Last Supper (Matthew 26:31).

But while the tomb was empty of the body, it was filled with the power of God shown by angels and their message: "He is not here! He is risen!"

The women sunk deeper into sadness with "He is not here!" Only when Jesus Himself appeared to them later did they recover from grief and fright and understood that "He is risen!"

When Jesus was dying on the Cross, the women stayed with Him, and their faithfulness was rewarded: They became the first ones to see the risen Lord. They were made bearers of the good news to those who were scattered.

Are we still scattered? Has Jesus' resurrection yet to make a real impact on our lives so that we live only for Him and for His Kingdom?

From Word of God.
