—Luke 24:22-24
by: Gabrielle Andries.
There are three important things we see in this passage: 1) Jesus had risen from the dead; 2) women were the first witnesses of the empty tomb; and 3) the disciples just did not get it. We are taught that seeing is believing, but is that really true? The disciples had been with Jesus for three years—sitting at His feet and absorbing His teachings. Yet, they failed to recognize that He was truly the Son of God. Do you truly believe that Jesus has risen? Just like the women and the disciples, an empty tomb is there to confirm the truthfulness of God’s Word.
