Tues, Mar. 25, 6-8 pm, is Small Group Leaders Training. All leaders, hosts and those interested in leader or hosting a small group please plan to attend.

Why “with fear and great joy”? They had seen an amazing event. It was beyond all their expectations. The tomb had been empty where they had just before seen him laid. The angel led them to the tomb that they might become witnesses both of his tomb and his resurrection. It is evident that no one could have stolen his body, when so many soldiers were sitting nearby him. Hence he raised up himself. For this reason they rejoiced and stood in awe.
John Chrysostom, 4th century
