Easter 2020 – The Promisekeeper Lives!

Luke 24:1-9 NASB ¹  But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. ²  And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³  but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴  While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing; ⁵  and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead? ⁶  “He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, ⁷  saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” ⁸  And they remembered His words, ⁹  and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
