Luke 24:1-7 Let’s go in time and put ourselves in the shoes of these heartbroken people who watched the stone roll over the opening of the tomb.  Can you imagine what it must have felt like to watch the one you loved die after everything He did on this earth (The miracles, the teachings, the outpouring of love for lost and broken sinners).  Can you imagine what it must of felt like for Mary (the chosen sinner) to see her son and Lord Hang their on that cross.  Can you imagine how Peter felt seeing His Lord from a distance especially after the last words he spoke in front of His Lord was “I do not know the MAN”.  Can you imagine what it felt like for John to see His Lord breath His last breath and the last words Jesus says to Him is “Behold your mother” “When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved (John) standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!"
