Act 2:14,22-33, Ps 16, Matt 28:8-15

Courage and confusion

The elders spread confusion and doubt, yet the women had seen Jesus and were certain that he had risen. When they told the disciples, imagine how they greeted the news. Did they drag their feet to Galilee? Yet Jesus greeted them there and gave them certainty. That certainty and the Holy Spirit enabled them to stand up with courage and witness after Pentecost. Lord, give me the same courage today.
