Episode 438 The Resurrection (Matthew 28:1-10)

This week BibleWorm reads Matthew 28:1-10, Matthew’s account of the resurrection - or, really, what happens right after the resurrection. It holds so many important questions for us. We ask: What is the role of evidence - of our senses - in our lives of faith? What is the role of fear in our human experience? What does it mean to act with both fear and great joy? And finally, how do we balance the need to go to the tomb - to honor what was and grieve its loss – and the call to leave it behind, and move forward to the next thing? The women manage to do both, and it’s an awfully good thing they did.
