1 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”
8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

1 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
The first day of the week was Sunday! this is the reason that christians worship on Sunday. it reminds us christ victory over the death and sin.
31 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
31 For He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, He will rise the third day.”
34 and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”
the other Mary is the wife of clopos.
its note worthy that women where women were the first people to see Jesus alive. it is also note worthy that they where not afraid ti to fallow him to the cross. \
2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
the details of how the stone got rolled away because these women could not have rolled the stone away.
His countenances was like lightning and His clothing was white as snow.
the guards shook for fear and became like dead men.
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.
this is to explain how jesus left and the guards “let” Jesus get away.
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
take a minute and soak in the scene:
the come early in the morning (before sun up).
the could probably see the angel coming from a long way off.
as they approach the see the guards knocked out.
then angel offers proof, “come and see” come and see the place where the lord lay and more importantly see for yourself that he is not here!
7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”
Go quickly and tell those boys hiding from what they must feel is certainly a death sentence.
the struggle for faith when things don't look like we thought they would. all people of faith struggle, so if you have thought your self less then because you have struggled then please know today. these women where as heart broken as the men who walked with Jesus those three years. they could not take a vacation. they had work to do. as they where being faithful to the call they were given. they where blessed to be the first to know that Jesus was risen. then the angel said go encourage.
8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
they obeyed.
9 And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
do not be afraid:
of me after death
