Easter 2018 - Matthew 28:1-10

The ladies (Mary and Mary) arrive at Jesus' tomb early on that Resurrection Sunday, not expecting to find it empty. They definitely did not expect to be met by an angel in a scene too amazing to be imagined. Yet, at this moment, it became clear, and verified by Christ himself when he appeared to the ladies, that Jesus was not dead, but rose from the dead as he said he would. That message of life and resurrection is the reason we have hope and can have life today.
