We often use the word miracle loosely. A baby’s first steps. A close call in traffic. Passing a test we didn’t study for. But the Bible shows us that a true miracle is more than a surprising event—it’s an unmistakable supernatural act of God for a divine purpose. And at the heart of the Christian faith is the greatest miracle of all: the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This miracle changes everything.
In Matthew 28, two women named Mary approach the tomb of Jesus. Their hearts are heavy with grief. Death has robbed them of their Lord, and they come simply to honor Him. They don’t know how they’ll move the stone, or what they’ll find—but they come in love and loyalty. And what do they discover? An angel, blazing like lightning, sitting beside an empty tomb. Death has been defeated. Jesus is alive.
The resurrection isn’t just a happy ending to a tragic story. It’s the reversal of human destiny. Through Jesus, God turns our failure into forgiveness and our finality into forever. Sin leads to death, but the resurrection leads to life—real life. Not just bios (biological existence), but zoe—the abundant, spiritual, eternal life only found in Jesus.
John 11:25 records Jesus saying, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.” Easter is not just about what happened 2,000 years ago. It’s about what can happen today—in your heart. Jesus didn’t rise so we could have a nice holiday. He rose so we could have new life.
The angel told the women, “Come and see… go and tell.” That’s still the invitation. Come and see the miracle of the resurrection for yourself. Don’t just hear about it—step inside the empty tomb with eyes of faith. And then, go and tell. Share this miracle with someone else. If you’ve experienced it, you’ve got a story worth telling.
Jesus meets the women on the road and says, “Hi.” No theological lecture. No booming voice from the clouds. It’s just a greeting full of grace and familiarity. He meets them where they are—just like He’ll meet you. Broken, doubting, unsure? He’s already ahead of you, preparing the way.
And when the women fall at His feet in worship, Jesus doesn’t rebuke them—He reassures them. Then, He tells them to find the disciples. And what does He call those men who had run away in fear? My brothers. Not cowards. Not traitors. Brothers.
That’s grace. That’s love. That’s the miracle.
This Easter, don’t just celebrate a historical event. Receive the miracle for yourself. Die to your old life. Trust Jesus. And rise with Him. He is risen. And because He is, you can live.
