“He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.”
Every other grave holds its dead. This one holds only folded linen — and all of history pivots on that absence.
The angel points back to Jesus' own words: as He said. The resurrection proves that every promise He makes, He keeps.
Faith is not afraid of inspection. The angel invites the women to examine the evidence — and God still welcomes honest questions.
If He is risen, death is not a wall but a door. Fear loses its final argument.
The angel's next sentence is a commission: go quickly and tell. Resurrection news was never meant to stay at the tomb.
Act: before breakfast, send one message — "He is risen" — to someone who needs hope today.
