And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit...
Saturday—
“Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know
how.” So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the
stone and posting the guard. Matthew 27:65-66
Sunday—
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary went to look at the tomb.
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven
and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was
like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid
of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking
for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.
Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples:
‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you
will see him.’ Now I have told you.” -Matthew 28:1-7
Rejoice in the miracle of Easter! Rejoice in the resurrection! Rejoice in hope!
