Running to Tell

Bible in a Year:

• Exodus 4–6
• Matthew 14:22–36

So the women . . . ran to tell his disciples.

Matthew 28:8 The modern-day marathon is based on the story of a Greek messenger, Pheidippides. According to legend, in 490 bc he ran approximately twenty-five miles (forty kilometers) from Marathon to Athens to announce the Greeks’ victory against their formidable foe, the invading Persians. Today, people run marathons for the personal satisfaction of an athletic achievement, but Pheidippides had a greater purpose behind his effort: each of his steps was run for the sheer joy of delivering good news to his kinsmen!

Some five hundred years later, two women also ran to deliver good news—the most pivotal news in all of history. When Mary and Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb where Jesus had been placed after His crucifixion, they found it empty. An angel told them that Jesus had “risen from the dead” and to “go quickly and tell his disciples” (Matthew 28:7). The women, “afraid yet filled with joy,” ran to tell the disciples what they’d discovered (v. 8).

May we have the same joyful exuberance at the resurrection of Jesus, and may it invigorate us to share the good news with others. We may not even need to “run” farther than next door to find someone who needs to know about our Savior. He won the battle against death so we might live victoriously with Him forever!

Reflect & Pray

Who shared the good news of Christ’s resurrection with you? How will you share it with others today?

God, I rejoice because of Your victory over death. Thank You for allowing me the privilege of sharing this good news with those You’ve put in my life.

Pizza sounds good. Maybe we’ll do that Saturday night.

All is well here. Have had some family issues happening in the last few months but it’s all part of life.

Hope all is well with you and yours.
Keeping safe?

[PROCON]

Keeping safe? I suppose so but I am looking to move to a free state soon, mine is locked down and the idiot governor intends to create as much harm to small business as possible.

What a shame this is happening to this once great state.

Late rehearsal tonight.

Yo, beachy! (((hugs)))

Good to see you tonight and hope y’all are all doing well. Did the rain finally stop? You could send me your leftovers. I wouldn’t complain. :)

Here’s an interesting tidbit from Maryland:

Our governor has decided that our schools need to open so kids can get back to learning and socializing. No scientific evidence that doing so would increase the spread...

Funny timing, huh?

LOL
