The Resurrection! Women's Place in History
written by: Beth Moore
By the time I knew Jesus had been crucified, I also knew He had risen from the dead. Pause
and meditate. Try to picture it. Hear it. Feel it. Jesus has been crucified. The event we study
next means everything to us!
How the Sabbath hours must have dragged for the women. For months they “had followed
him and cared for his needs” (Mark 15:41). Now all that was left to do was to serve Him in
memorial. They needed to get to the tomb and do the one last thing they could for their Lord.
Mark tells us that the women were hoping the officials would allow someone to roll away the
stone so they could apply the spices and perfumes to the body. To their astonishment, they
saw that the “very large” stone had been rolled away. The women had no way of knowing at
that moment what Matthew 28:2-4 records. “An angel of the Lord came down from the heaven
and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.”
God chose the angel to be the one who rolled back the stone – not to free Jesus – but to
reveal Him already missing! The women entered the tomb, but they did not find the body.
Acts 2:24 tells us exactly why Christ was raised from the dead: “God raised him from the dead,
freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on
him.” Some things are simply impossible – and death keeping its hold on Jesus is one of
them.
Glory to God! The news echoed throughout the heavenlies at the moment of Christ’s
Resurrection. The angels probably longed for God to turn on their volume in the earthly realm
and announce it to the mortals.
At the sight of the angels, the women fell on their faces and then departed to tell the eleven.
If I may say with a chuckle, one possible reason God chose to reveal the resurrection first to
women is because He can trust us to get the word out! Telling what we’ve been told is our
specialty!
However, appointing these women as the first to share the news of Jesus’ Resurrection was
a definite “custom shaker.” Jesus knew the apostles wouldn’t believe them, but perhaps He
felt that the pending discovery of their authenticity would breed a fresh respect. With His nail-
scarred hands, He lifted them to a place of respect and credibility.
For centuries the synagogue had kept men and women separate. Suddenly they would be
working, praying, and worshipping shoulder-to-shoulder. Christ built His church on a
foundation of mutual respect. Don’t misunderstand. Christ wasn’t prioritizing women over
men. He simply took the ladder down to the basement where society had lowered women.
The last thing women should want to do in the body of Christ is to take men’s places. But by
all means, let’s take our places! We have also been called to be credible witnesses of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
