"Rose Again on the Third Day According to the Scriptures"
The Nicene Creed reminds us that the resurrection of the Son of God is the centerpoint of both the Biblical story and God's plan for salvation. The whole Old Testament looks forward to it in anticipation. The whole New Testament looks back on it with exposition. In Luke 24 we are reminded of the challenge of the empty tomb, the surprising evidence from ancient doubts, and what ultimately gives us the eyes to see Jesus for who He really is as risen Lord and Savior.

Reflection Questions
1) Many characters in Luke 24 had been told by Jesus that He would die and rise again, but they all struggled to believe it after it happened. Why do you think that is? 2) How is the fact that a group of women were the first witnesses to the empty tomb an evidence for the truthfulness of the accounts of Jesus's resurrection? 3) What do we make of the fact that the Apostles are made to look foolish and faithless so much across the 4 gospels? 4) Jesus taught the two disciples on the road to Emmaus about the things concerning himself across the Old Testament. What stories, images, or prophecies in the Old Testament come to mind for you that concern Jesus? 5) How is the resurrection of Jesus evidence of both God's love AND God's power?
