“Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre” (Luke 24:1-2).
We see in today’s verses women in action joined together by a common bond. They shared in their grief and devotion to God. I can picture them making the long walk to the tomb probably right before dawn carrying their prepared spices filled with sorrow. I also envision women with mixed feelings as they first beheld the empty tomb. They had banded together for a common purpose. Their efforts were rewarded when they realized He had risen. The tears of grief turned into tears of joy!
How would you describe your group of women? Are they caring, sharing, and meeting together for the purpose of furthering the good news of the gospel? Be willing to extend the message of a risen Savior.
