**Luke 24:4** — *"While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them."*
The women came to finish burial work — practical, grief-soaked labor. They expected a sealed stone and the quiet weight of mourning. Instead: radiant messengers, an empty tomb, and a reality that shattered every assumption they carried to that garden.
Notice the sequence. They were *puzzling* first. Confusion preceded revelation.
Scripture reminds us that God rarely interrupts settled certainty — He meets us in the honest disorientation of unanswered questions. The women did not have their theology sorted before the angels appeared. They had their spices, their sorrow, and their willingness to show up anyway.
Walk with that image today. The radiant does not always wait for us to understand. Sometimes it simply *stands beside us* — while we are still mid-puzzle, mid-grief, mid-question.
Let the unresolved places in you remain open. Grace has been known to arrive there first.
