The two Mary's went to the tomb and there was an earthquake. From the devastation of Haiti we know how tramautic this event could be? Yet...the fear turned to joy with the prospect of resurrection instead of a natural disaster. I noticed also that both women named Mary had fear and joy in tandem. In this reading of Matthew 28, I am pondering these simultaneous emotions of being afraid and joyful.
In the drama of God's work this combination of fear and joy seem to be in tandem. Is not the trust of God the reason for joy? And the reason our fears do not get the best of us? I am going to ponder this tandem of fear and joy along the way. Does God not reveal Himself to us in such times?
By the way...we are now out of the Psalms for the first time in 150 days.
