Today's Topic:
“MEET ME IN GALILEE!”

Bible Reading:
Matthew 28:1-16, NLT:-
1 Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it.3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.
5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7 And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.”
8 The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message. 9 And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him.10 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.”
11 As the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the leading priests what had happened. 12 A meeting with the elders was called, and they decided to give the soldiers a large bribe. 13 They told the soldiers, “You must say, ‘Jesus’ disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body.’ 14 If the governor hears about it, we’ll stand up for you so you won’t get in trouble.” 15 So the guards accepted the bribe and said what they were told to say. Their story spread widely among the Jews, and they still tell it today.
16 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.

🔑 Key Verse:
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me .”

  • Matthew 28:10, NIV

The Message:
The memory of our wedding anniversary this year would linger for some time to come. My husband gave me a surprise when he told me that we were going to spend the most part of the day at Reynolds Gardens. Reynolds Gardens! I exclaimed. Another day at that Garden brought back fond memories because that was where we met few years ago and became friends before he proposed to me and we later tied the nuptial knots. When Jesus asked the disciples to meet Him in Galilee, He was calling them to their first meeting point – where they decided to follow the Master and be part of His ministry. Many things have happened in the past three years – the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ; Peter’s denial of Christ, Judas’ betrayal, their confusion about Jesus’ death and resurrection and other experiences. It is therefore pertinent that they meet Him again at Galilee.

At times when our souls get wearied and depressed from life’s punches on every side; at moments when we seem confused and do not know which way to go; we need the Galilee experience – a fresh meeting with Jesus where hopes will be rekindled and visions will get clearer. We need the comforting words of Jesus telling us that He is forever with us, even when all else fails. You need that Galilee experience today.

“If you are feeling impatient, and disconnected from God, it’s time to tend to your soul. Grab your Bible and get alone with God.”
