[Talisker]

When the women enter the tomb and find an angel sitting there, I like to imagine the angel chuckling as he says, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here." [Mark 16:6]

Maybe a gentle, compassionate smile, but surely not a chuckle. The power in that tomb would be high enough to melt rock. Those women were probably terrified.

I also think they must have been terrified. Plus, the concept was not known; it was all so new. The angel wouldn’t have been so glib with those bereaved women as to chuckle, I don’t think.

Something else to meditate on concerning the Resurrection, if you have not already...

Romans 8:11 Amplified Bible

11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
