Stop Thinking Stop thinking. That is not advice generally given since even God said, “Come let us reason together” (Isaiah 1:18). Jesus even asks an “expert”, “What is written in the Law?

An Angel’s Affirmation “He is not here. For He has risen. Just as He had said” (Matthew 28:6). The angel gives us a poignant 3 point “sermon”. 1. “He is not here”.
