“On The Third Day”

Luke 24:1–12

April 1, 2018

Introduction:

1. The witness of the women. Luke 24:1-3, 9-10

1. The words of the angels. Luke 24:4-8

1. A.  “Why do you seek the living among the dead?”

        B.   He has risen!

1. C,  These things had to happen.

III. The response of the disciples.  Luke 24:11-12

Questions for reflection:

• How does the witness of the women point to the historical reliability of the resurrection accounts found in the Gospels?
• How might people today “seek the living (Jesus) among the dead?”
• What is the meaning of the resurrection?
• How does the resurrection provide hope for both the present and the life to come?
