LUKE 24:9

 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. - Luke 24:9

You think the Eleven were like in a room specifically designed for the Eleven or referred to themselves as "The Eleven"?  Did they have jerseys, hats?  Seriously though, is there anywhere else in Scripture that they are referred to as the Eleven. (Wow, I guess there are multiple mentions of this! But did they ever call themselves the Twelve, or was that reserved for Seahawk fans?) (OK, another Wow!  Acts calls them "The Twelve", but that was after Judas offed himself.  But, they picked someone to replace him.  OK enough of this)

How cool was that?  You know when you have big news - like yesterday when there was a big blow up at the Pickleball Courts!  You can't wait to go home and tell someone.  How much more when the Savior rises from the dead.  I'm trying to picture the look on their faces.  Did they stonewall it and then come with the huge surprise?  Were they grinning from ear to ear when they walked in?  Was there screaming and yelling?  And how did the Eleven (and the others) react?  Disbelief?  Excitement?  Skeptical?  

All I know is that I would have liked to have been in that room - even if I was only part of the Others!
