And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
Now go fast and tell his disciples that he's alive again, he beat death! And look, he's already heading to Galilee ahead of you. That's where you'll see him. I'm telling you this now so you know.
The ultimate plot twist: death couldn't hold him, and he's already one step ahead waiting for you.
