Meeting the Risen Jesus

That Sunday morning, the women went to the tomb expecting a dead Messiah and instead found an angel and an empty grave. On their way to tell the disciples, they met the risen Jesus. Their responses—fear at first, then joy after the angel's word—are exactly how ordinary people react when they encounter the God‑man who has conquered death. That mixture of awe and gladness only deepened when Jesus himself appeared. Hearing the news, they ran to tell the others; they could not keep such life‑changing news to themselves. And when Jesus met them, they fell at his feet in worship. That fear‑turned‑joy, that urgent witness, and that immediate worship is the pattern for everyone who has truly met the risen Lord.
