Luke 24:1–6 (NRSVUE)
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb,
taking the spices that they had prepared.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
but when they went in, they did not find the body.
While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them.
The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them,
\"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.\"
The tomb is empty. Everything is different.
N.T. Wright, from Surprised by Hope
\"Resurrection is not the reversal of death. It is the defeat of death. Not undoing what happened, but transforming it into something that opens onto a new world.\"
