Matthew 28:1-4 King James Version (KJV)
28 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

4 And for fear of him the guards shook and became as dead men.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 This would have been early Sunday morning. They went to the tomb of Jesus, now if it wasn’t the Sabbath they would have done this before but they had to wait for the Sabbath to end first.
2 This earthquake opened Jesus’ tomb but also would have opened up the graves of others because Jesus rose first then others followed Him. So the tomb was open, this wasn’t so that Jesus could come out but so they could go in. Jesus was already out of the tomb. The angel was there to tell them what just happened.
3 This displays God’s glory; he is the angel of the most high. Lightning shows that he had power, it came straight from God. White clothes showed he was pure because God is holy.
4 So the men guarding were so afraid, they knew the truth about Jesus and it scared them rather then them submitting to the Lord they were scared and did nothing. Often times our fear can keep us from doing what we need to.
