appeared to them.

As they le , Scripture says they then le the tomb quickly, “fearful yet overjoyed.”
All they could think about was telling the other disciples of their encounter when another incredible joy befell them.
Jesus Himself met them on the way. In their amazement, the women fell at His feet and did Him homage. Not the homage they planned on doing to a dead body, but the homage due to a risen Savior.
They worshipped Him. Jesus then spoke: “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me” (Mt 28:10).

It was true.
All they had hoped for came true.
They saw Jesus arrested. They saw Him beaten.
They saw Him falsely accused. They saw Him sentenced to death.
And they saw Him die. Now for the miracle of miracles, they saw their Savior alive.
Every hope that they had came true. Everything came to fruion in that moment. All that was lost was restored a hundredfold.

The Resurrecon of Christ is not simply an event that took place long ago.
It’s an event that connues to take place when we paently walk with our Lord through the trials, crosses and sufferings of life, with hope and trust in His power to do all good things.
Evil always loses in the end when we remain steadfast in our hope in Him.
