The power of love

Yesterday, I was reading my bible in the book of Mark 16 and I came across a beautiful story of a good man called Jesus.

The story in Mark 16 precisely the first two verses talks about two women with an adorable spirit and so much love for Jesus who went to anoint the body of Jesus after He was buried to prevent it from decaying.

Mark 16:1-5

  1. When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"
    4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

I believe it was a warm Monday morning, full of so much energy. In my imagination, I can see traders hurrying down the sloppy road leading down to the famous Jerusalem business hub just to meet up with the demands of the day. But for Mary and Salome, it was entirely something different running through their minds, I believe that all night, they may have had their thought on what must have happened to the body of their master in the lonely tomb that it was.

For Mary and Salome, it was an onward movement for them. I could see them are hitting people on the way, breaking bottles of oil and other just because they want to see the body of their master. Now this passion will only be demonstrated when love is in motion.
Now this scripture has nothing to do with how much our thought can do for us because some motivational speakers could go on to say that there is a force in the human thought that can create a way for a person. Please let’s be careful of what we make theologies from cause for me I think that the only lesson in this place is that of the love that was in heart of this two ladies that got them living out a prophesy that was prophesied by David concerning Jesus.

In Psalms 16:10, bible talks about the prophesy of David concerning the death of Christ when He said neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption
I would like to tell us a little about King David. David was not just a king, he was also a warrior, a psalmist and a prophet and some of the prophesy’s about Jesus were spoken by David.

Listen to me please, the worries of Mary and Salome over who would roll the stone out of the mouth of the tomb never had anything to do with the rolling of the stone. Wither or not they thought about the stone, the stone would have still been rolled away. Now notice this that the major reason why this two ladies went to the tomb was so that the could anoint the body of Jesus to prevent it from decaying and also smelling and quickly let’s go back to Psalm 16:10 bible says that neither will the Lord abandon His soul to experience hell nor will he suffer His body to see corruption. Now the word suffer there means to allow His body to see corruption.

Sometimes, many people on the frequency of their love for God has walk into prophesy they never knew was spoken and sometimes God just prevent us from getting relevant information about that so that you don’t pride in it.
Friends Christianity itself is highly emotion and it would be very difficult to please or even love God without our emotions. See how two ignorant woman by their singular act of love aligned well enough to fulfill prophesy’s that was prophesied long even before the foundation of the world.

Please let us understand the power that resides in love so that we can advance the kingdom of God. Thank you
