The Irony of Perplexity
The women were perplexed by an empty tomb, but commentators like Spurgeon and Henry note the irony: the real cause for perplexity would have been finding Jesus's body, as it would have meant His promises had failed. Their confusion stemmed from forgetting Christ's own words about His resurrection. This reminds believers that our own spiritual anxieties can often be traced to forgetting the promises God has already made.
