Happy Easter

Happy Easter, everyone.  Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, who after dying was placed in the tomb owned by Joseph of Arimethea, but was no longer there when two women named Mary went to see the tomb.  As the angel who rolled the stone away from the entrance told the women, as recalled in Matthew 28:5-7 (KJV),

Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 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.

If you read verse 4, you'll see that when the angel appeared, "for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men", but the women, although fearful (see also Luke 24:5), were not so shaken.  Now that Jesus is risen, there is no longer any need to fear the end of our physical lives.
