Mark 16:7
"7 But go your way, tell His disciples and Peter that He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see Him, as He said unto you."
These brave women have demonstrated their devotion and care for Jesus by showing up to the tomb, which is empty! They are hearing the Good News from the lips of a messenger from God! "He is Risen!"
These ladies are taking it all in. It's a heightened experience. Their hearts are pounding, their eyes are dilated, every sense of their body is turned up to ten, their experience of time has slowed down. This is all they can handle. They are having a close encounter with an angel. A sight so incredible, so attention-grabbing, the angel has to say, "Behold!" Look, Jesus has risen from the dead! An angel standing in front of you and talking to you is REALLY incredible! BUT! The resurrection of Jesus is OFF THE CHARTS incredible!
And then, in today's verse, the angel gives these ladies a very important assignment! They get to be the first to SHARE THE GOSPEL!!!
