Mark 16:2 “And very early on the FIRST day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb.” [ESV]
Have you ever been searching for a treasured thing? You know it is buried under something, somewhere! You become so excited when you finally locate it.
The people in our verse were on the hunt for something buried too! They were looking for Jesus. They were up very early, on the FIRST day of the week, before the sun had even risen… talk about enthusiastic! They were keen to locate Jesus so they PRIORITIZED Him… they found their treasure.
It’s true that there are dark places in everyone’s life. Places that we don’t want to let anyone into… not even Jesus. The truth is the freedom we search for is found when we allow Jesus to enter into and work in these areas.
It’s very easy to make this happen. All we need to do is PRIORITIZE Jesus. Make Him FIRST and put everything else second. There is always ample time to get Jesus involved… even if we have to search for him.
Right now schedule to meet with Jesus first; in the EARLY and even if it is still dark in your situation. Tell Jesus you want Him involved in every part of your life. The same way they found Jesus in their situation you will too!
