Coming to visit the tomb with every expectation that Jesus was dead, the women were astounded to be greeted by an angel. “I know that you still seek Jesus, who was crucified,” the angel said.
And there is the nub of today's lesson: these ladies were still seeking, although their every human hope had died in front of them yesterday on the Roman cross. Yet, they still came. They still sought. Where were the other disciples? Why didn't they come, too?
The lesson for us all is to come, seeking Jesus, even when we feel hopeless and helpless, just come. Just pray. Just seek. Come.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, forgive me when my emotions or situation gets the better of me and I despair. Remind me to come to You, seeking You and Your ways with all my heart and mind and soul and strength. Amen.
