Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”-          Notice the angel starts talking to the women (not the soldiers)-          Do not be afraid is the first thing the angel saido   Thank God the angel was friendly-          For I know you are looking for the Jesus, who was crucifiedo   Notice the angel knows why the women are thereo   And he knows that Jesus was crucifiedo   So angels are very much real, alive and watching!o   And are working on behalf of God (He came to do God’s business)-          He is not here; he has risen, just as he saido   Notice the angel confirms the good news§  He has risen!Intro to Outbless Weekly Thanks for listening to Outbless.com
