COT: Essentially the whole workout was a BOM, but the final note to reflect on is that it is finished, but the story has not ended. Matthew 28:5-6 And the angel sed to the women, “Do not be afraid: for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come [and], see the place where he was lying.”
