Mary Magdalene and another woman named Mary went to the tomb to honour Jesus. An angel told them Jesus wasnʼt there because he had risen from the dead. The women became the first witnesses of Jesusʼ resurrection. Jesus had won the battle over death! He was raised to new life. Sin and death were Godʼs enemies. God won the victory over them through Jesusʼ death. The women were afraid but also filled with joy. When they met Jesus, they worshipped him at once. The religious leaders paid the guards to lie about what had happened. Jesus had said many times that he would rise from the dead. The leaders didnʼt want anyone to believe that Jesus had been telling the truth.
