We often think of Easter morning being this peaceful, calm situation. It has been imprinted on us that the angel was in all white, the women at the grave were squeaky clean and bathed, and even the Roman soldiers guarding the tomb were willing and excited participants of this whole event.
insert sound of record player suddenly stopping and the needle moving across the record.
I think all of the Sunday School cookies might have got to our brain. Let's look at the story Matthew tells us of that morning.
Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you." 8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me." Matthew 28:1-10 ESV
If we were given this as an English assignment, we can make a great list of the emotions present. Fear, trembling, fainting, running, more fear, joy, and finally surprise. It reads like a modern, jump-cut scene from an action movie.
In great breaking we find great healingIn these details a larger story emerges. Death has been conquered, and with that, a pathway that was once closed is now open. So we are going to see what story these details will lead us on. And it continues with this fast paced, action oriented new world.
