“Rejoice!” and “Go!” - April 11, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, April 11 - “Rejoice!” and “Go!”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Grounded in Your Word, filled with Your Spirit, I want to begin my day in communion and alignment with You. ...

 

“So (the women) went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, ‘Rejoice!’ So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. Go tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me!’” (Matthew 28:8-10)

 

When You met the women outside the empty tomb, You told them two things: “Rejoice!” and “Go!”

 

Fill me today with the joy of Your resurrection. Send me today to go share the Good News.

 

I grew up singing a song out of the Methodist Hymnal that keeps stirring in my spirit today: “Christ the Lord is risen today, Allelluia!” And we always sang it where you joyfully draw out the “Allelluia” like “Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahlelu, u, ia!

 

I’m drawn to look back now at the power and joy of the words, as written by Spirit-filled, revivalist songwriter, Charles Wesley, brother of Spirit-filled, revivalist preacher John Wesley. Here’s a few of the verses:

 

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia! 

Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia! 

Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! 

Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia! 

 

Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia! 

Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia! 

Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia! 

Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia! 

 

Yes, Lord Jesus! “Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahlelu, u, ia!” By the power of Your grace, I’ll rejoice and go. With Your joy in my spirit, I’ll go share my joy of Your Good News everywhere You send me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

 

My friend, may you be filled with resurrection joy, as you rejoice and go share the Good News of Jesus' victory over death and free gift of eternal life for all who believe and trust in Him everywhere He sends you today, in Jesus' name. God bless you!
