Not Here “He is not here” (Matthew 28:6; Mark 16:6; Luke 24:6). Three times we have these four simple words spoken to those who were early to the sepulcher on the resurrection morning. The rest of the message confirmed the fact that the Lord Jesus had indeed risen from the dead in triumph over sin, death, and Satan. Later on when they actually saw the Lord, it brought peace and joy to their hearts. “Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord” (John 20:20). So today, it brings that same peace and joy to the hearts of believers around the world as we realize that we have One who is risen from the dead and seated at the right hand of God His Father in heaven. Here is how the Trinity was involved in such a momentous event: “Whom GOD hath raised from the dead” (Acts 3:15). “I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from ME, but I lay it down of MYSELF. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again” (John 10:17-18). “Christ…being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the SPIRIT” (1 Peter 3:18).
