Following to a tee...

Matthew 28:7-10 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” 
The instructions of the angelic messenger were clear: God quickly and tell.  So the women went quickly and told.  Just to make sure a detail was not left out, Jesus Himself reminded them about the detail of going to Galilee to see Him there.  But probably the detail we have the hardest time remembering is "Do not be afraid."  He was there before; He is with us now; He has gone ahead of us and will be there as well.
