Scripture Union Daily Guide 5th April 2026 – Outline
How do we become witnesses of things that happen around us? In the resurrection story, the women were totally committed to care for the Lord in life and in death. Their passion for the Lord brought them to the tomb on the resurrection morning. They became first-hand witnesses and provided testimony for the resurrection. What does this teach us about faithfulness in our service?
Notice the message of the angels to the women. How do we sometimes keep looking for what is dead, gone and dealt with but we are oblivious to the new thing God is doing? Meanwhile the disciples struggled to believe what the women told them. Why didn’t the disciples believe their testimony (Luke 24:11)? The testimony of women was not deemed authoritative at the time. But Jesus respected women and treated them with high regard (John 4:1-26). God often does His mighty works through the most unlikely people (1 Corinthians 1:27-31).
The way God works may not make sense to us humans sometimes. The empty tomb is the evidence and a constant reminder that Jesus conquered death. How does this guarantee our own resurrection as the people of the resurrected King?

HALLELUJAH, HE IS RISEN!
1. Hallelujah, He is risen!
Jesus is gone up on high!
Burst the bars of death asunder,
Angels shout and men reply:
He is risen, He is risen,
Living now no more to die.
He is risen, He is risen,
Living now no more to die.
2. Hallelujah, He is risen!
Our exalted head to be;
Sends the witness of the Spirit
That our advocate is He:
He is risen, He is risen,
Justified in Him are we.
He is risen, He is risen,
Justified in Him are we.
3. Hallelujah, He is risen!
Death for aye hath lost his sting,
Christ, Himself the Resurrection,
From the grave His own will bring:
He is risen, He is risen,
Living Lord and coming King.
He is risen, He is risen,
Living Lord and coming King.
