Day 4: Stop Seeking Life Among the Dead
Reading: Luke 24:1-12
Devotional: "Why do you seek the living among the dead?" The angel's question to the women at the tomb confronts us today. How often do we return to dead relationships, dead habits, dead identities searching for life? You can't find freedom in the prison you've already been released from. Old toxic patterns, unforgiveness, self-pity, past addictions—these are tombs, not homes. Jesus isn't there anymore, and neither should you be. The stone has been rolled away. Stop revisiting graves expecting to find life. Remember what Jesus told you: He would rise on the third day. He kept His word. Now believe His words about your freedom. Today, identify one "dead place" you keep returning to and choose to seek life where it actually exists—in the risen Christ.
