“Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared” (Luke 24:1).

Jesus had told His disciples on several occasions that He will die and rise again on the third day. Sadly, on the third day, His followers bought spices expecting to apply to Jesus’ body. Friend, don’t let what is happening today in the world around you make you doubt or forget God’s promises. We walk by faith not by sight. Faith does not come by sight; faith comes by hearing the word of God. Don’t allow anything to make you forget what God has said. Don’t respond to crisis with fear, anxiety and worry.

Many people are isolated from loved ones, many are living in loneliness. Many are in the midst of sorrow and hardship that crisis is causing, from physical suffering to jobs that are at risk and economic difficulties. It is also a time of worry about an uncertain future, with many feeling that the future looks dark or bleak. So many people are anxious about security, employment, and food. But Christ died and rose again. Every dead situation will rise again and when the last trumpet sounds, the dead in Christ will rise first. Don’t lose hope, because Christ lives, we can face tomorrow.
