Incredulity exists today. That is the reason why the demonstration of eternal life is so difficult. That is the reason why after two thousand years the world at large is not convinced that it is possible for man to be raised out of the thought that death is inescapable. Even after Jesus demonstrated resurrection the disciples found it hard to believe Him. A woman was the first person to come to Jesus' tomb after His resurrection.
Women are more receptive to Truth than men.
Women have more spirituality and faith than men, but if today a man died who had claimed that he would resurrect his body Page 146 on a certain day, it is doubtful whether even the women would go to the tomb to see that resurrection. Mary and the other women did not go to the tomb of Jesus expecting Him to be there alive. The body was not there and they began to inquire about it. There were the grave clothes, but the body of Jesus was gone. The disciples, when told that Jesus had risen, were skeptical.
