The women ran from the empty tomb “with fear and great joy.” Matthew doesn’t resolve that tension — and neither does this Easter sermon.
In the conclusion of our Lenten series “Tell Me Something Good”, we arrive at the moment the whole season has been building toward: an earthquake at dawn, an empty tomb, and a commission to go before the fear subsides.
Drawing on Matthew 28:1-10, this message asks what it really means to live as resurrection people — not by waiting until the trembling stops, but by running anyway, carrying grief and hope in the same two hands.
Because the risen Jesus doesn’t say wait here. He says I’m already ahead of you. Meet me in Galilee.
Thanks be to God.
