No Need to Look!

"'Don’t be alarmed,' he said. 'You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.'" -Mark 16:6 (NIV)

No matter how organized I try to be, it seems as though I am always looking for something.  Even when I leave something in a "safe place", I tend to forget about that place.  After time spent looking and frustration, I usually end up finding what I need, but I often lament that life would be easier if I didn't need to search for things!

After Jesus' death, some of those close to Him went looking for His body in the tomb.  When they arrived, Jesus wasn't there!  Even though what they were looking for wasn't there, they didn't need to be upset or alarmed.  Jesus had risen from the dead and was alive!  We should be encouraged by the fact that we don't have to go searching for Jesus.  He is alive and He is active in our lives.  We can call on His name and He will come to us.   We don't need to look for Him, because He is always with us!

You don't need to look for Jesus, your Savior, because He is always with you!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Jesus as my Savior.  Help me to always know that I do not need to look for Him because He is with me and ready to help me.  Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray, amen.
