God Displays His Power to All Addicts

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. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. Matthew 28:1-4, 11-15

The Jewish leadership had tried to lock Jesus into His tomb with the seal of the Roman Emperor. But when the Sabbath rest was completed and the three days of prophecy had taken place, Friday, Sabbath, Sunday, then God displayed His power. God sent His angel to call Jesus from His tomb. This angel came and rolled away the rock at the door of the tomb and called Jesus and Jesus responded and resurrected from the dead. When the soldiers ran away from the scene they came to the Jewish elders and they accepted a bribe to not tell the truth. The power addicts would not accept recovery but continued trying to deny the truth that is God.

Prayer for Today: Help us God, that we will accept the truth as You send it to us. Help us to learn to trust You that You are not trying to hurt us or deceive us but that everything You do is honesty and truth. Help us today to believe this story and receive the blessing You want us to get. Help us to turn away from error and control, and to turn to You for recovery from all our addictions even those addictions which try to control the truth.
