THE SET UP
When Jesus’ disciples hear about His resurrection they don’t believe it. They thought it was a bunch of ladies spouting nonsense. Even though Jesus had told them again and again and again that He would rise in three days, they had given up hope. They were so convinced that Jesus was still dead and gone that two of them didn’t even recognize Him when they walked down the road with Him for hours. It never even dawned on them that it could be Jesus. Have you ever been sure that your dream was dead and gone? That what you had hoped for was no longer possible? That’s how they felt. But all of those feelings would change in a short period of time as Jesus revealed Himself to them.
