Thought For Today

Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ Therefore order the sepulchre to be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples go and steal Him away, and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.” Matthew 27:62 – 64

Lord I wonder what Pilate was thinking when these men came to him. I am afraid I would have thought, ‘If you are so afraid why don’t all of you go and stand guard.

Did these chief priests and Pharisees wonder if You were for real and You would rise again? I think they had that in the back of their minds so they wanted someone there to witness it.

All is speculation on my part Lord and the good news is You did rise again. You are alive and well as the saying goes. You fulfilled what You said You would do. You came to bring us eternal life and we are all thankful that You did. Oh how we praise and thank You.

Thank You Lord. Thank You.
