Mat 27:52 “The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.” 

Sadly, the Jews were always in need of a sign, the promise of God and His Word was insufficient for their doubts (Ex 3:13-14). Here in Mt 27 we see another sign/miracle for the Jews. When Christ died on the cross the bodies of the dead saints (known to those in Jerusalem) were raised to life to testify concerning Christ as Lord and Saviour. Whatever the day looks like from our perspective, whatever season of happiness or sorrow we are in today, rejoice in His promises. Remember, the promise of Christ (Gen 3:15; Heb 11:13) proceeded His presence on the cross. It’s the power of perspective, if we change the way we look at things with the eternal perspective of God’s promise, the things you look at change. In (vs 54) we’re told that once the centurion soldier saw those things that were done, feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”! Point being: while as believers we may not deny Christ is who He says He is, we must make sure we don’t find ourselves uttering the same verb of regret because we had the wrong perspective in the power of His promises for our life. An eternal perspective allows the power of God’s promises to work through our faith.

When we are designed to be tall, we will endanger our position if we lower our perspective…HSAY
