Still reflecting on Easter Sunday!
"The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He is risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay, then go quickly and tell His disciples...'"
The angel was there, watching over the tomb (probably waiting for the women to arrive), as the angels had been watching at His birth, and attending Him when being confronted by Satan in the wilderness, and countless other times during His life on earth.
How gently he reminded the women that Jesus had told them about His resurrection before He was crucified. He didn't scold them, just kindly reminded them.
The angel knew why they were there. Then he asked them to look for themselves...to know for certain.....how thoughtful he is to them. He could tell how much they loved Him.
But then, he gave them their task....."Go quickly and tell..."
That's what he is telling us...'It's true! He is risen...as He said...now go and tell! Right now! Don't waste a moment! They are waiting!'
There is a sense of urgency. What is your priority today?
