COME AND SEEMatthew 28:6 - "He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."Come and see…Come and see, Mary, who breathlessly cries out, “Rabboni!”Come and see, Mary, mother of James, who collapses at His feet in worship. Come and see, Cleopas, whose heart burns in the presence of the resurrected Christ. Come and see, Simon, whom the Lord renames Peter, and who insists on a death worthy of his Savior. Come and see the holes in his hands and side, Thomas, so you know the price paid for you. Come and see that your brother is Lord, James. Come and see, Saul, killer of Christians, and be transformed into Paul, the missionary. Come and see, teachers, that He was the law you so love. Come and see, preachers, that He is the Word made flesh. Come and see, history, that the flow of time is bent around Him in a triumphant arc. Come and see, death, that your sting is final no more. Come and see, believer, that you were purchased for a price and will be welcomed home. Come and see skeptic, that pierced hand still reaching out toward you today.Come and see the place where he lay. Let your eyes rest where He once did, but don’t linger. He is not here. He is risen as He said…
