Notes
- Perspectives from each book - Each book
provides a different perspective of Christ's
resurrection.
- Matthew (Israelite) - talks about an
angel descending from heaven to roll away
the stone from Jesus' tomb
- Mark (straightforward, powerful) -
Joseph of Arimathea, a powerful member of
the Sanhedrin courageously comes to ask for
Jesus' body, the women are afraid at the
tomb of Jesus
- Luke (humanitarian, public) - one of the
robbers is invited to paradise with Jesus,
the crowd beats their breasts, other women
were at the tomb
- John (eternal, divine) - Jesus says "it
is "finished" (or "perfected"), Jesus tells
Mary not to touch him until he has ascended
to heaven
- Matthew 28:20 - Before this moment,
Christ's ministry was only to the
Jews. However, in these verses, Christ gives
the directive to his disciples to preach to
"all nations"
