The women brought spices to the tomb as we would bring flowers - as a sign of love and respect. Ordinarily a body was embalmed at burial and not a day and a half later, but Jesus died only a few hours before sun down on Friday. When the Sabbath began. By the time Joseph had received Pilate's permission to take the body and had put it in his tomb, there was longer time for embalming. The women went home and kept the Sabbath as the law required. From sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, before gathering their spices and returning to the tomb.
The two angels in shining garment. They asked the women why they were looking in a tomb for someone who was alive. Often we run into people who are looking for God among the dead. They study the Bible as a more historical document and go to Church as if to a memorial service. But Jesus is not among the dead - He lives! He reigns in the hearts of Christians, and He is the head of the Church. Do you look for Jesus among the living? Do you expect Him to be active in the world and in the Church? Look for signs of His power - they are all around you.
People who hear about the resurrection for the first time may need time before they can comprehend this amazing story, like the disciples, they may pass through four stages of belief.
(1) At first, they may think it is a fairy tale, impossible to belief.
(2) Like Peter they may check the facts but still be puzzled about what happened.
(3) Only when they encounter Jesus personally are they able to accept the fact of the resurrection.
(4) Then as they commit themselves to Jesus and devote their lives to serving Him, they begin to understand the reality of His presence with them.
It was very early in the morning on the first day of the week. The women took the spices they had prepared. Then they went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled back away from it.
When they entered the tomb, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
They were wondering about this. Suddenly two men in clothes as bright as lightning stood beside them.
The women were terrified. They bowed down with their faces to the ground. Then the men said to them, "why do you look for the living among the dead?"
Jesus is not here! He has risen! Remember how He told you He would rise, it was while He was still with you in Galilee.
He said, the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people. He must be nailed to a cross. On the third day He will rise from the dead.
Then the women remembered Jesus words.
They came back from the tomb. They told all these things to the eleven apostles and to all the others.
Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them were the ones who told the apostles.
But the apostles did not believe the women. Their words didn't make only sense to them. Their words didn't make any sense to them.
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He bent over and saw the strips of linen lying by themselves. Then he went wondering what had happened.
At the crack of dawn on Sunday, the women came to the tomb carrying the burial spices they had prepared. They found the entrance stone rolled back from the tomb, so they walked in. But once inside, they couldn't find the body of the master Jesus.
They were puzzled, wondering what to make of this. Then, out of no where it seemed, two men, light cascading over them, stood there. The women were awestruck and bowed down in worship. The men said, "why are you looking for the living one in a cemetery? He is not here, but raised up. Remember how He told you when you were still back in Galilee that He had to be handed over to sinners, lost his life on a cross, and in three days rise up?" Then they remembered Jesus words.
They left the tomb and broke the news of all this to the eleven and the rest. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them kept telling these things, to the apostles, but the apostles didn't believe a word of it.

Luke 1:26-30 . Matthew 1 . highly favored - blessed are thou among women . Luke 1:26 (Nazareth) . Immanuel . Matthew 1:20,21,25 . Sunday School Lesson
Before going on to next week's lesson, I thought that I needed to go back and look over these issues, after being in Sunday School.
I make notes in my Sunday School Book as I read/study and then also have notes on paper attached to my Sunday School Book for Church, so I won't forget. But I am not the Sunday School Teacher, I will assist.
favour, favoured ... kindness (Luke 1:30)
highly favored ("endued with grace") Luke 1:28. Favour may be deserved or granted.
Nazareth ... From the summit above the village one looks south across the extensive plain of Esdra-elon, west to Mount Carmel on the Mediterranean coast, east to nearby Mount Tabor, & north to snow-capped Mount Hermon.
Immanuel ... significance of the child's birth (JESUS), not HIS name.
Luke, the beloved physician, companion of the apostle Paul.
Gospel according to Luke ... Luke was probably a Syrian of Antioch, & may have been converted by the apostle Paul.
Luke wrote for the whole world, whether Jew or Gentile, but especially for Greeks, as Matthew for Jews.
Begins with the promise of the forerunner & ends with the ascending Saviour's blessing & HIS disciples continual joy.
Mathew 1:18,20,21,25
Mary was pregnant with child by the Holy Ghost - Divine Intervention. She knew no man - no man had touched her.
