  • Read John 20: 1-10 

I love that a woman is the first to discover the missing body of Jesus. She comes so early in the morning that it is still dark. I picture her waiting and waiting for the end of the Sabbath so that she is free to run to the tomb. 

The ‘other disciple’ who reaches the tomb first, “believes”. But then verse 9 goes on to tell us that they did not understand that Jesus had to rise from the dead. What do you think he ‘believed’? 

In keeping with immersing ourselves in the narrative—what are these two men feeling and thinking in these moments?
