Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning, and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
(Luke 24:22-23 ESV)
The apostles were simple men who simply followed Christ. He used them to establish the Church. But often it was a few women who first pioneered their adventures, like on resurrection day. These men were amazed at the message they brought, and I think, humbled that they women were the ones who went first. That same tendency still often shows itself in the church. As I look at the lives of these two young women who will share Sunday, amazing is an appropriate word. They have gone places, invested in lives, and demonstrated the love of Christ all over the world. They live as if Christ really is alive (and He is!)
