The disciples (like all of us) were slow to believe the resurrection of Jesus. And their lack of faith kept them from joy. They could not rejoice in a Risen Messiah, when they did not believe it.
For those who do not yet believe in Jesus, this is just another day in a long series of days that inevitably leads to death, even despair. Yet for those who do believe (who have faith) in Jesus as the Risen Savior, Resurrection Sunday (and every Sunday!) is a day of great joy!
