After Jesus was crucified, how did Christianity not only survive but also spread across the world as a growing and living faith? In this continuing tour of Jesus’ mission on earth, Alistair Begg considers how the apostles turned from fearful doubt to radical faith. Jesus’ friends boldly shared the Gospel, and later, even the anti-Christian teacher Saul was recruited to their ranks. Only the real resurrection of Jesus could explain such a drastic change.
1hBut on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, itaking the spices they had prepared. 2And they found jthe stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were perplexed about this, behold, ktwo lmen stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5And as they were mfrightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, nwhile he was still in Galilee, 7nthat the Son of Man omust be delivered into the hands of sinful men and pbe crucified and on qthe third day rise.” 8And rthey remembered his words, 9and returning from the tomb they stold all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10Now it was tMary Magdalene and uJoanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, 11but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and vthey did not believe them. 12But wPeter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw xthe linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
