- There were at least two other women with Mary and Mary. They went to “look at” the tomb. They were not expecting to find a risen savior, but to visit a grave. Mary and Mary knew Jesus as well as anyone, but were wavering in their faith.

- The Jews had a tradition which is mentioned in John 11. That tradition was that on the fourth day, the spirit left the body permanently because the body was so decayed that the spirit could no longer recognize it.

- Even though He was dead, they wanted to show Him their love and respect and preserve His body if only for a few more hours. And more than that, demonstrate their deep love.

- Mark writes in chapter 16 that as they were walking along in the darkness, they were having a discussion about how they were going to get the stone out of the way.

The angel didn’t have the power to raise Jesus from the dead. He was already alive. The angel rolled the stone away to show the women that Jesus was alive.

Mary Magdalene started running – to go get the disciples and tell them what happened. John 20:2

- Scripture is True
- Jesus is “for real”
- Salvation is complete
- His love is defined
- Our future is secure
