Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning,
they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout,
behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth,
they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
He is not here, but is risen:
remember how He spake unto you when He was yet in Galilee, Saying,
The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men,
and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
And they remembered His words, Luke 24:1-8
They knew what Jesus had told them, but they forgot.
Do we do that sometimes?
They were traumatized.
They were not thinking clearly.
They had been through a lot.
Seeing their Lord, the One Whom they knew was God in the flesh,
had been crucified and hung on a cross and died for the world to see.
Jesus has told us different things and we forget His promises
because of the circumstances,
We look at the circumstances and forget His words.
And they remembered His words
