While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” (Luke 24:4-7 ESV)
These two messengers call on these women to think and rethink what is happening in light of what Jesus had said. All through Luke that has been the question: "Do you believe what Jesus says? If you really believed what He said, you wouldn't be here right now." That still leaves some remembering and soul-searching as to where they SHOULD be; but it is quite there that the tomb is not the place they should expect to find Jesus. He has risen.
