<p>8:52 <i>All were weeping and bewailing her, but he said: Weep not. For she is not dead but sleeps</i>- The Angel repeated the same words to the women at the Lord's grave, as did the Lord to Mary: &quot;Why do you weep?&quot; (Jn. 20:13,15). Surely those women were close to the Lord at this time. The Lord used the same word choice before and after His resurrection, showing the continuity of personality between how we are now in the flesh, and how we shall eternally be. Salvation is personal, and how we are now is of critical importance eternally.</p>
