The Women Hurried Away From the Tomb

The women hurried away from the tomb. And what are they feeling? This is so important. Matthew tries to capture it with two words, but it's a single emotion that he's bing. It's not like they were afraid and then got happy once they started running. They're terrified and full of joy. Most stories about jesus are longer than this. There's lots of ancient stories written by the greeks and romans about people seeing their loved ones after they died.
