24:1 Now upon the first day of the week,
very early in the morning, they came unto
the sepulchre, bringing the spices which
they had prepared, and certain others with
them.
LK
24:2 And they found the stone rolled away
from the sepulchre.
LK
24:3 And they entered in, and found not the
body of the Lord Jesus.
They come
bringing spices for the dead, but their
spices would never be used for Jesus was not
there!
LK
24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much
perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood
by them in shining garments:
LK
24:5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down
their faces to the earth, they said unto
them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
LK
24:6 He is not here, but is risen: remember
how he spake unto you when he was yet in
Galilee,
LK
24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be
delivered into the hands of sinful men, and
be crucified, and the third day rise again.
LK
24:8 And they remembered his words,
At first they
were perplexed. Where was the body of Jesus
and why is the stone rolled away? Then the
angels tell them that He is risen! They say,
"Why seek ye the living among the dead" Then
they remind them that Jesus foretold that
this would happen. Jesus had told them that
He must be delivered into the hands of
sinful men, and be crucified, and the third
day rise again. They then remembered His
words. The wonderful truth of it broke down
upon them. And look at how they reacted.
LK
24:9 And returned from the sepulchre, and
told all these things unto the eleven, and
to all the rest.
They now had
the greatest news the world has ever had.
There is a risen Saviour. And what did they
do? How did they react to this news? They
told all these things unto the eleven, and
to all the rest. They immediately went out
and told others. Not only to the eleven, but
it says to all the rest.
Should we not
react the same way? Is not the greatest news
in the world worth sharing?
