What are you looking for today? And why are you looking here?
Just as the women on Easter morning were never going to find Jesus if they kept looking in the wrong place, no matter how long or hard they looked or how sincerely they expected to find him there. They were looking for their Lord in a tomb, and the angels were there to redirect the women’s search. The ladies, and all of Jesus’ followers, needed to understand that if they were expecting to find their Savior still lying in a tomb, they were dead wrong. In their grief they had forgotten what Jesus said would happen when he died, and so, to remind — and gently rebuke them — the angels asked: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?”
