28 Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.
5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7 And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.”
8 The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message. 9 And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.”

"just as He said" A call to faith is weaved throughout Scripture. God never fails to fulfill His promises.

It is interesting that the earth shook when Jesus died and when he rose again. The earth declared His greatness! I wonder if Mary and Mary had it figured out before Jesus died or if they had only realized what was happening at the moment it was announced to them? They watched Jesus die, they watched him be buried and then they were there to see the empty tomb and be the first ones to worship him after his resurrection. Did they come to the tomb that day in expectation of the resurrection?
