Ýou are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,
who was crucified.
He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.
But go, tell His disciples and Peter
He is going ahead of you into Galilee.
There you will see Him, just as He told
you.
Mark 16:6-8
Each of the Gospel writers had their specific memories of Resurrection Morning. Mark chronicled the arrival of the women, who were surprised that the stone was rolled away. They met the angel inside the tomb, who had a message for them and the disciples.
The very
special moment in Mark’s telling of the angel’s message comes when Peter is
mentioned specifically – “Go tell the disciples AND PETER.” After the complete failure of his faith when he denied his Savior, there is little doubt that Peter would feel depressed and even rejected. Jesus wanted Peter to know
that he specifically was being invited to their meeting in Galilee. This
special recognition of Peter was precious reassurance that he was forgiven and
loved.
