They had stood at the cross, watching the Lord suffer the painful death of crucifixion, after the merciless half-death of Roman scourging, the cruel mocking and torment. 

Joseph of Arimathea, a rich man and a disciple of Jesus, pleaded Pilate for the body of Jesus, laying it in his own new tomb which he had hewn out in a rock. 

Nicodemus, the ruler of the Jews that had come to Jesus at night, hearing from the Lord how he might enter the kingdom of God by being born of water and of the Spirit, brought myrrh and aloes for His burial. 

Pilate consented to the chief priests and Pharisees for the tomb to be made sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch. 

On Sunday, the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went early in the morning to see the tomb. There was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord had come, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. 

"And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 

“And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 

“And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word." - Matthew 28:5-8 

He is risen!!!

This is the message that we are to tell the world - Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and on the third day rose again! This is the gospel message. 

Peter preached the gospel.

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." - Acts 2:38-39 

Jesus spoke to His disciples,

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15 

Go and tell!
