Episode 50 - When Fear and Joy Collide

Send us Fan MailHappy Easter! This episode looks at Matthew 28:1-9. In this passage, we find Mary Magdalene and "the other" Mary (Matt 28:1) on their way to the tomb where Jesus had been placed. But while they were coming, a great earthquake shook the ground. An angel descended and rolled the stone away, and the soldiers guarding the tomb fainted, or as the Bible says, they "did shake, and became as dead men." Upon hearing the news of Jesus' resurrection, the women left to tell the disciples what had happened. And when they left, we are told they departed "with fear and great joy." How can these two things co-exist? We talk about that on this episode. We learn from this lesson that if we will press on through fear, joy will win in the end.For those who use Word Aflame Curriculum, the Bible passage focused on in this episode comes from Lesson 5 of The Living Word, Spring 2021, entitled, "When Fear and Joy Collide" (April 4, 2021).
