In the middle of all of this, the very atmosphere was charged with the glory of God. Heaven had intervened in earth's history. The radiant, risen, Eternal Christ was now standing before Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, who fell before Him in worship. Jesus had a message for her to deliver, and in order to hear it and tell it, she would need to be unafraid. He wanted others to know that.
Fear remains a factor for many people.
It keeps some from hearing, and others from telling the Good News, and multitudes are imprisoned by it. Fear of ridicule, persecution, or some other fears bind so many would-be evangelists. Even as Jesus spoke, the disciples were locked behind closed doors for fear of the same people who had crucified Him. Mary addressed her fears at the cross, at the tomb, and now again at the feet of the risen Christ. He had a message for her and for the world that would address the fears of the other disciples and millions more who would hear it.
