Darkness then light ( John 11 v 25 )

In Genesis one,we read, 'the earth was formless and empty,darkness was over the surface of the deep',to many on that day when Jesus died,it was a dark ,dark experience.Darting back to that creation event,there we have the first words that God spoke, recorded,''Let there be light''.Now shooting back to the darkness that Christs followers were experiencing ,and suddenly they heard those earth shattering words ,'He has risen''. The darkness fled dispelled by the glorious light of the resurrection,   no longer would death have the last say,the last enemy had been defeated. Dear child of God you may be facing death at this time,remember, because He lives you shall live, because He rose from the dead so will you.My dear Christian brother ,or sister,who may be grieving over the loss of a loved one,a godly mother ,father,husband,wife,child ,friend,take comfort that they are with the Lord, and one day you will be reunited with them.Remember the words spoken to those early Christians,'He has risen', and rejoice.
