The Voice of God

Friday April 13th, Luke 24: 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " 8 Then they remembered his words. New eyes and wide open mouths!!! Still not sure of what was going on and what it all meant, they were lift with new eyes and wide open mouths. It was the women who heard this new message, for it was the women, those marginalized by society in that day, who could hear the message as one of hope. All the teachings began to form into a new reality that morning, and these women, mouths wide open, were the ones ready to receive it. Who are the marginalized ones who can really hear this message of hope today? They are the ones the church needs to listen to, they are the voice of God.
