Now, get on your way quickly and tell his disciples, “He is risen from the dead. He is going on ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there.” That’s the message. The women, deep in wonder and full of joy, lost no time in leaving the tomb. They ran to tell the disciples.

Matthew 28:7-8 (TMB)

We’ve all had to bury some dreams, but it’s unfortunate that many believers have never left the cemetery. These women realized that although a dream had died, Jesus had risen from the dead and was alive again! When your life is full of joy, you’ll have no problem leaving the tombs and living for Christ. Stir up the joy of the Lord in your life by remembering that Jesus is alive!
