The Perplexity of Unbelief
Commentators like Spurgeon and Henry note that the women were perplexed by the empty tomb, which should have been a source of comfort. Spurgeon observes that finding Jesus's body would have been the real disaster, as it would mean His promises had failed. This reminds believers that unbelief can cause 'needless perplexity,' making us worry about things that are actually signs of God's victory.
