Tell the Disciples and Peter
Mark 16:1-7
The women were headed to the tomb with spices to embalm the body of Jesus, but they both had a question of great concern on their minds, As these women walked right into the tomb where they were astonished to see an angel that appeared to them as a young man dressed in white.
Note this important message of the angel, "Don't be afraid. I know you're looking for Jesus the Nazarene, the one they nailed on the cross. He's been raised up; He's here no longer. You can see for yourselves that the place is now empty. Now - on your way. Tell His disciples and Peter that He is going on ahead of you to Galilee.
This was a message for all followers, but also for Peter and anyone else who felt they were a failure. The women must be sure to tell Peter. Jesus of course knew of the torment Peter was experiencing, his sorrow for his sin of denying His master.
If the angel had only said, "Go tell His Disciples." Peter might have thought that the joy of this good news must not belong to him. Peter might have sighed and said to himself, "I doubt that I can look upon myself as one of His disciples. Three times I denied Him. I disowned Him and deserve to be disowned by Him."
As a woman today, there might be a man in your life that failed you, cheated on you, betrayed you, abused you, or you may know a man, a brother who had great dreams and visions. This man was called to accomplish great things for God, but he has gone astray. He now lives in a spiritual pig sty – shame, guilt and condemnation are destroying his confidence.
Like the women in Luke 16, God is giving you an assignment to let that man know that Jesus still loves him and wants to restore him. God wants you to forgive him... Go Tell His Disciples and Peter... The Peter in your life is waiting to hear this message today.
