Here are some of the questions we answered in this Podcast:

[00:11:55] What pattern did Jesus set in his post-resurrection appearances to those he loved?

[00:23:21] Was everyone overjoyed when they heard of Jesus' resurrection?

[00:36:29] How did Jesus help his disciples finally understand what was happening?

When examining God’s word as a whole, it quickly becomes evident that Jesus’ resurrection was the most awe-inspiring marker in the entire Bible. This recognition entices us to search out the specific leading Jesus gave to his followers on his first resurrected day. What did our Lord say and do to build a foundation for God’s plan to continue developing?

There were several unique and inspiring messages that Jesus relayed to his followers on that first day of his resurrection.

Here are a few:
• Jesus began by echoing the angel at the empty tomb, instructing the women to “fear not” and to share the news of his resurrection with his disciples. This phrase, “fear not,” (christianquestions.com/inspiration/1365-fear-not/) became a foundational theme, reassuring his followers and preparing them for the upcoming monumental shift in their faith.
• Jesus directly addressed his disciples as “brethren” for the first time after his resurrection, signifying an elevation in their relationship—from servants to friends and finally, to family in the kingdom of God. This reflected the broader message of redemption and reconciliation with God.
• When Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene who initially struggled with grief and disbelief, she experienced a profound transformation upon recognizing him. Her mission shifted from tending to his body to sharing the message of his resurrection (christianquestions.com/inspiration/1327-resurrected/) , symbolizing the prioritization of spiritual devotion over earthly concerns.
• Later that same day, Jesus encountered two of his disciples walking on the road to Emmaus (youtu.be/vc8hkDMlgHw) . Consumed by grief and confusion, these two unknowingly engaged with Jesus. By reframing their understanding of the Scriptures, Jesus illuminated the fulfillment of prophecies and strengthened their faith before revealing his identity.

His method of teaching
Jesus’ first resurrection day messages focused on prophetic fulfillment as he encouraged His followers to overcome fear, embrace their mission and recognize their role in God’s plan. His method of teaching—through empathy, scriptural clarity and patient revelation—transformed grief into joy and doubt into conviction.

Jesus’ resurrection was not just a miraculous event but a turning point that redefined his followers’ faith, understanding and purpose. This encourages us to embrace faith, trust in God’s plan and courageously share his message.
