“Ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay” (Matthew 28:5-6).
When a seed is placed into the ground and dies, a plant grows from it, and we obtain much more fruit from the plant than the one seed we put into the ground. But we never get back that seed we planted; it dies, and we cannot recover it.
However, it was different with the Lord Jesus. He died, but on the third day He rose again. Some of the women who knew Him came to the grave on the morning after the Sabbath, expecting to place sweet spices on His body. But the angel told them that He was risen; He was no longer in the grave. What a wonderful thing to hear!
Yes, you and I are the fruit of the death of the Lord Jesus, but we did not lose Him! He is alive, and has ascended to heaven. Soon He is coming for us, and we will see Him!
