The women who visited the tomb of Jesus were met with an unexpected and overwhelming experience. They had come to anoint Jesus' body, but instead, they found the stone rolled away and an angelic figure announcing that Jesus had risen. This encounter left them trembling and bewildered, a natural human reaction when faced with the divine and miraculous. Their fear and initial silence underscore the profound impact of the resurrection event. In a culture where women were not typically seen as reliable witnesses, their role in this pivotal moment is significant. It highlights how God often chooses the unexpected to convey His message. Although they initially said nothing out of fear, the resurrection story did not end there. The message of Jesus' victory over death spread, transforming lives and forming the foundation of Christian faith. This passage invites believers to reflect on their own responses to God's work in their lives and encourages them to move from fear to faith, trusting in the power and presence of the risen Christ.
Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
Mark 16:8
