HOPE SHARED

God: Why was it important for the women to encounter the two men in dazzling garments at the tomb.

Me: With all the trauma of seeing Jesus arrested, condemned and executed, the women might have forgotten that He'd told them the tomb would not hold Him for long.

God: Right! When life is difficult, humans need support from others who can engender hope. Be that for one another.
