Day 5: The First to Tell

Rising With Hope · With Hope · April 4, 2026

Scripture
Then Jesus said to them, 'Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.' — Matthew 28:10 (NIV)
Matthew 28:10

Jesus told the women to 'go and tell.' The risen Christ entrusts His message to ordinary people. He could have appeared to Pilate. He could have appeared to Caesar. He could have appeared to the entire Sanhedrin. Instead, He appeared to a small group of faithful women and said 'go and tell.' You do not need a platform or a title to share the resurrection. You just need a story. If Jesus has changed your life, you have something to tell. Go and tell it.

Prayer

Jesus, give me courage to go and tell what You have done in my life. Use my story to point others to Your resurrection power.
