In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary to see the Sepulchre...
Matthew 28:1

​Isn't it just like the women to get up early and check on things? In Matthew's account it was the two Marys, in John's it was Mary Magdalene, in Luke's it was the two Marys, Joanna, and other women. 

​And what did they find? 

​And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
​Matthew 28: 2

Well, they weren't expecting that!

​And the Angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Matthew 28:6

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

​And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All Hail. And they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
Matthew 28: 9-10

​And isn't it just like Jesus to appear to the women first; women who had little worth in first century Jewish culture, or Roman, or Greek culture, for that matter, and entrust them with the most important news in the universe! 

​So the enemy thought he had him. Jesus suffered, died, and was buried, for our sin. But Sunday morning came and he went and rose from the dead! Imagine That!  And all believers will do the same, and live with him forever!!! That is the Good News!
 

​You can read the whole story in the Bible, the book of Matthew, chapter 28. May I suggest you try the New Living Translation or if you are feeling adventurous, The Message. You can find these and many other translations online at www.biblegateway.com.

He is Risen!
​He is Risen Indeed!

​And oh, by the way, The tomb is still empty!

If we are going to have the eagerness to read there Bible, it is true that we are going to learn a lot of things from it. That's why we should always do it even if we don't have a free time or not. Every story that is written on it will give us a lesson about life. We should allayed make sure to have it because that will keep us con noted with our own lives. By the way, I am hoping that more people were encouraged by your post.
