Running to Jesus

Bible in a Year: 1 Samuel 10-12, Luke 9:37-62

Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
John 20:4

Today's Scripture & Insight: John 20:1-10

On a trip to Paris, Ben and his friends found themselves at one of the renowned museums in the city. Though Ben wasn't a student of art, he was in awe as he looked upon the painting titled The Disciples Peter and John Running to the Sepulchre on the Morning of the Resurrection by Eugène Burnand. Without words, the looks on the faces of Peter and John and the position of their hands speak volumes, inviting onlookers to step into their shoes and share their adrenaline-charged emotions.

Based on John 20:1-10, the painting portrays the two running in the direction of the empty tomb of Jesus (v. 4). The masterpiece captures the intensity of the two emotionally conflicted disciples. Though at that juncture theirs wasn't a fully formed faith, they were running in the right direction, and eventually the resurrected Jesus revealed Himself to them (vv. 19-29). Their search was not unlike that of Jesus seekers through the centuries. Although we may be removed from the experiences of an empty tomb or a brilliant piece of art, we can clearly see the good news. Scripture compels us to hope and seek and run in the direction of Jesus and His love—even with doubts, questions, and uncertainties. Tomorrow, as we celebrate Easter, may we remember Jesus' words: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13).

Reflect & Pray
If you don't know Jesus, what will you do to begin running toward Him and His love? If you're a believer, how will you share His love with others?

Dear Jesus, lead me into Your loving arms today.
Running to Jesus

Today God is calling you (3)

I have prayed for you, that your faith will not fail.' Luke 22:32 NASB

God wants you to do His will, but you'll never reach the place of spiritual maturity in which you're free of Satan. You can overcome him, but you can't eliminate him. Look at Peter. He had only one gear: overdrive. He was always...More
