“He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you ...” (v15). On the “first day of the week”, the two Marys went to Jesus’ tomb. Luke’s gospel tells us that they carried spices to add to his burial. But rather than this being the tragic end of the story, they were confronted by new instructions. Jesus had defeated death, was alive, and was “going ahead” of them. Both the angels and Jesus himself gave them new commands: “Go and tell ...” (v7,10).

“Do not be afraid; go ...” (v10). Because Jesus’ death was not the end, our own troubles and tragedies are not the last word of our story. The same Spirit who raised him speaks peace and new purpose to our hearts.
