—Matthew 28:1-10

Multiple people can see or hear the same thing and be affected differently by it. Mary Magdalene, the other Mary, and the guards all saw the angel of the Lord descend from heaven and roll the stone of Jesus’ tomb away. The guards were paralyzed with fear while the two Marys listened to the angel’s good news of Jesus’ resurrection and followed his command to tell the other disciples. The angel chose to give this command to women, who were not only quick to obey, but did so joyfully. Do not be like the lifeless guards. Receive the good news joyfully and go and tell others that Christ is risen from the dead!
