Easter: Seeking For Jesus In The Wrong Place? by emwhyz(m): 11:13am On Apr 16, 2017
In the gospel of Saint Matthew 28:5-6, the response of the angel to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary was “HE IS NOT HERE”. When you seek for an item in a wrong place, there is a greater possibility that the item will not be found and you will be disappointed.
This Easter, are you seeking for Jesus in the wrong place?

One of the major reason why people look out for things in the wrong location, is confusion. The challenging situation of our immediate environment is quite confusing to the extent that people go about doing things with a wrong approach.

Keeping to instruction is very key in life. When you fail to follow the instructions that was laid down by Christ, you risk the throbbing of disappointment.

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary’s journey to the tomb of Jesus on an Easter day was fruitless because they fail to keep the instruction of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:6). Therefore, if you don’t want to be disappointed, seek for Christ where he can be found.

Easter symbolizes resurrection. To resurrect is to be revived, to be restored, to be renewed and to reappear. Indeed is Easter is a good period to celebrate and commemorate the love of Christ unlike some who believe otherwise. Easter is a pointer to the celebration of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Today we celebrate Easter as a result of Chris t's resurrection, he resurrected because death cannot hold him captive. He resurrected because there’s more to being alive than to be dead. He resurrected because only the living can glorify God.

From time immemorial the devil never wants you to rejoice nor celebrate, he employs CONFUSION STRATEGY to rob God’s children of their inheritance in Christ. If you allow yourself to be victim of his strategy, there is every tendency that you will be disappointed.

Are you looking for Jesus where he is not? I am sorry to say… “HE IS NOT HERE”
Jesus will not be found where you are violating God’s command
Jesus will not be found where you are angry
Jesus will not be found where you are fighting
Jesus will not be found where you are complaining

This Easter, you have to seek for Christ and you have to seek him in the right way. Seek for Christ in giving and sharing with the less fortunate, seek for Christ with thanksgiving as an appreciation for his sacrificial death, seek for Christ by sharing his goodwill messages to the lost world, seek for Christ by re dedicating yourself to his service, seek for Christ by recommitting yourself to growth and the development of God’s work.

P:S : Seek for Christ where he can be found.
