I'd Like to Order 16 Pizzas Please

Would you believe part of our Easter message at church today used this story about an FBI agent ordering 16 Pizzas? Paul, our pastor, used this story to illustrate why the disciples didn't believe the women when they came from the empty tomb, announcing that Jesus' body wasn't there.



Why would 11 disciples, hiding in fear, believe these women? I'm sure the women were all very excited and could hardly contain themselves. They must have sounded like lunatics, spouting on and on about how Jesus' body was not in the tomb and that he had risen from the dead! It really must have been crazy! Can't you just see the looks on the faces of the men as the women told them this? Who can blame the disciples if they said "I don't think so", just like the Pizza man?
