Resurrection! Jesus is alive!
Someone rising from the dead was as wild of an idea then as it is now.
Jesus does exactly what he said he would do.
Verse 8 says “astonishment overwhelmed them”. Accurate
Add “worship” & “lifelong devotion” to “astonishment”.
For early witnesses of the resurrection there was a tension. They were confused, excited, cautious, and terrified. They weren’t sure who to tell. But as they all put the pieces together their terror turned to excitement about what had happened…and what was happening. It is ok to be a bag of emotions. Tell the gospel story- all of it.
Lord Jesus, thank you for your resurrection power!
