Scripture: Luke 24:1-13,36-44
Every spring, we celebrate Easter as an opportunity to examine the historicity and implications of Jesus' resurrection. It's often said that doubt is a part of faith, and Scripture tells us that even Jesus' chosen disciples were initially in disbelief that he had come back to life as promised. That this moment of doubt is recorded in Scripture aligns with Jesus' own words to "come and see," rather than blindly "come and believe." Like the disciples, we too are invited to think critically about the true character of Jesus. If he is who he says he is, the Son of God who overcame death, then the story of Easter is that he laid down his life so that we could have new life in Him.
