Seeing is Believing
Matthew 28:6
"He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
The invitation to “come and see” is one of the most powerful calls to faith we can receive. In Matthew 28, the angel spoke to the women at the tomb, inviting them to witness the impossible: Jesus was no longer dead. He had risen, just as He said He would. This moment is not just about seeing an empty tomb—it’s about seeing the very power of God at work, transforming death into life.
But this invitation didn’t end with the women at the tomb. It echoes through the centuries, calling us today to look and see the power of the resurrection alive in our own lives. Jesus’ resurrection is more than a historical event—it’s an invitation to witness the miraculous work of God in our personal lives. We are invited to “come and see” the places in our lives where God has stepped in and transformed what seemed dead, bringing it back to life.
Think about the "empty tombs" in your own story—those areas that once seemed hopeless, where you felt abandoned or defeated. Maybe it was a marriage that seemed beyond repair, an addiction that felt unbreakable, or a career that was on the brink of collapse. But God has the power to bring resurrection, to turn hopelessness into hope, and to bring life where there was once death. When we respond to His invitation, we discover that we are not just looking at an empty tomb—we are witnessing the life-giving power of Christ at work in our lives, and we can say with confidence, “Come and see what God has done!”
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the invitation to “come and see.” Thank You for showing us the places where You have turned death into life. Help us to see Your power at work in our lives today and to boldly share that testimony with others. May we continually walk in the resurrection power You have given us. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
