This Morning with God
Luke 24:1-12
- The women were the first to find out that Jesus had risen from the dead.
- I don't know. I should daily try to seek God through acts of love.
- The women were probably bewildered because they had come to anoint Jesus' body and instead found angels that told them Jesus was alive.
- The angels were referring to the proof of Jesus own words before He died when He said that He would rise again on the 3rd day.
- Joy, shock, and disbelief.
- I might try to explain how the angels had appeared suddenly and reminded us of Jesus's promise that He would rise again in 3 days.
- They did not understand of believe the women.
- I don't know.
