SCRIPTURE

"And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified. He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you." — Matthew 28:5-7 (ASV)

Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead;

Notice the angel's words: first See, and then Go. You cannot tell the message until you know it. You who would serve God, must first be instructed yourselves. Come, see the place where the Lord lay; and then, Go quickly. If you have seen, then go. Do not sit down and admire the sight, and forget the thousands who have never seen it; but come, see the place where the Lord lay, and then go, and go quickly.
