Dawn breaks over a sealed tomb, the earth shakes, and a single angel turns Rome’s show of power into a seat. We open Matthew 28:1–10 and follow the women from shock to worship, tracing how the resurrection isn’t just true—it’s transformative. We unpack why the first day of the week signals the start of new creation, how Jesus’ reign relativizes every rival authority, and why fear and great joy can coexist when God keeps His promises.
We also lean into mission. The angel sends the women running with an urgent message, and Jesus directs them to Galilee—the place that always hinted the light would shine beyond Israel’s center. That detail reframes our habits, our budgets, and our prayers: the empty tomb pushes us outward, toward people and places still waiting to hear. Ordinary voices become first messengers, which means ours can too.
Finally, everything funnels toward worship. When the women meet the risen Christ, they grasp His feet—bodily, humble, joyful. That posture anchors our lives. We don’t start with strategies; we start with awe. From there, joy deepens, courage rises, and witness becomes natural. If you’ve felt joy-starved or faith-thin, this conversation invites you to return to the empty tomb, hear the King’s greeting, and live like dawn has broken.
If this moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a quick review to help others find these conversations. What changes for you if you truly live as though He is risen?
