Luke 24: 1-12

24:1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened. (ESV)

When the women went to the tomb and found it empty, they were very confused. It took the words of the angel at the tomb to remind them that Christ had said he would rise from the dead. They ran to tell the apostles, but most of them didn’t believe either. Like the women who found the empty tomb, we have news to share! Some people may not believe that Christ is alive, but we need to share that news anyway! Christ rose from the dead and he is able to provide salvation and a right relationship with God the Father: that is good news to share!
