When Jesus was arrested his followers scattered, fleeing the danger of arrest.

Then the disciples rejoiced when they …
“Why do you look for the living among the dead?” I wish Luke’s gospel told us just how they asked this question. I wonder if the two men in dazzling clothes at the empty tomb scolded the women for showing up at the tomb or if they were teasing them with this question. They have come to the logical place …
