The Meaning of the Resurrection Luke 24:1-6

This post discusses the meaning of the resurrection of Jesus.

‘The Meaning of the Resurrection’ as a post emphasizes what the resurrection means to the Christian. The resurrection occurred on the Sunday after Jesus’ death on the cross, Luke 24:1-6. “But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb… And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body…While they were perplexed … two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said… “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He… has risen.”

So, the first impression that comes to mind concerns God’ all-powerful ability. He can raise the dead to die no more. God can accomplish a resurrection and should receive praise and glory for His power.

Secondly, the resurrection of Jesus authenticates Him as the Son of God. In this way, He completed His earthly ministry by the sacrifice of His body on the cross. His resurrection followed.

In addition, knowing about the resurrection of Jesus provides a feeling of certainty for Christians about a resurrection in their future beyond the grave. The Bible promised a universal resurrection whereby Jesus will judge everyone as to their deeds on this earth, Hebrews 9:27-28. “… just as it… appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, … offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who … eagerly waiting for him.”

Finally, the resurrection of Jesus also shows Christianity as a unique religion that can deliver eternal salvation. No other religion can do this.

So, what did we learn?

1.The resurrection shows that an all-powerful God can provide a resurrection from the dead.

2.The raising of Jesus proves His Deity as God’s Son.

3.Certainty of life after death appears as a result of the resurrection of Jesus.
