Easter Sunday
Luke 24: 1-12 - The Garden – Easter Morning
It was early one Sunday morning. I saw women going to the tomb where someone had been placed after death. As usual, the women were carrying spices to anoint the body.
Suddenly I heard a shriek which cut into the silence of the morning. The tomb was empty! I could see for myself – behind the women – it was open and empty. As the women were staring at the tomb, two people in dazzling white robes appeared. I could see the women were frightened – I was too! They bowed down in awe of the messengers. “He has risen from the dead,” the dazzling men said. The women, recovering from their shock, ran off – to tell their friends, I presume.
I followed them – they told a group of men and they didn’t believe the women (typical men!). one man ran off to the tomb to see if it was true. When he found the tomb empty, he went away puzzled. This suddenly wasn’t just any normal Sunday morning…this would change things forever.
