Raise

Matthew 28:1-10

{ THE SEED } What comes to mind when you read this ordinary word?

raise

{ THE SPROUT } How does the word change when part of the Gospel phrase?

He has been raised

{ THE PLANT } How is God speaking to you today?

“Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him.’“

{ THE BEFORE } Does God’s message change knowing the Gospel setting?

After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

{ THE AFTER } Does God’s message change knowing the Gospel conclusion?

And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced His feet, and did Him homage. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell My brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
