Call in the New TestamentJesus and His Calls in Ministry Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Prophesying DaughtersLuke 24:5-10 New International Version5 In their fright, the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”8 Then they remembered his words. 9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary, the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. For ReflectionOne cannot deny the mystery that is our God. The dead are the dead and have not risen, we say. And yet, there is Christ. And yet there is Lazarus. And yet, there is the promise of everlasting life. AND YET? PrayPray, and have confidence in the power of God. Pray and live the life God has intended for you. Pray and look for God among the living.
