Shock after shock! Their dreams blown to sheds! The one they loved, cruelly taken! Betrayed by one of their own! And now these crazy women were babbling about his body being gone!
It was the final insult! Could those who hated them have not left his body in peace?!! The women were trying to say that he was alive - but seriously - they knew he was very dead. Surely they were just seeing what their grieving hearts wanted to see. Jesus was the only one they'd ever known who could raise the dead, and with him gone, there was no one.
A few of the men had followed the women to the grave site and confirmed its emptiness! A couple of them even claimed to have seen angels telling them he was alive! Were they too having delusions from their heavy hearts???
Then came the final shock! He stood in the room with them!!! Was it a ghost??? Frightened and confused, their scrambled minds tried to make sense of what they were seeing. And then he spoke. And the words were typically his! And he asked for food! Does a ghost get hungry???
With the time delayed effect of minds processing with speed, it began to dawn on them. Something spectacular had happened!!! Jesus was very much alive, and with them!!! A new life had dawned!!!
