Episode notes
Women Arrive Expecting A Corpse
- Women came to the tomb expecting to finish embalming Jesus' body with spices and instead found the stone rolled away and no body.
- Two men in dazzling apparel told them, Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, he is risen, prompting the women to run and report what they'd seen.
Emmaus Walk That Ignites Belief
- Two discouraged disciples walking seven miles to Emmaus are joined by a stranger who is actually Jesus, but their eyes are kept from recognizing him.
- Jesus interprets Moses and the Prophets for them, their hearts burn as he connects the scriptures to himself, and they immediately return the 14-mile round trip to Jerusalem to report him.
Three Proofs That Ended Doubt
- To dispel doubt, Jesus intentionally did three things when he appeared: bless them with peace, show his wounds, and eat before them to prove he was not a spirit.
- These acts moved the disciples from fear and disbelief to conviction and preparedness to act.
