The Resurrection: Part 2 (Life of Christ Sermon 47)
The Sunday after Jesus was crucified was a strange and marvelous day. The disciples were still cowering in fear, but some women had reported Jesus’ tomb was empty, and angels told them He was alive.

This lesson considers Jesus’ appearances to some of the women, two disciples traveling to Emmaus, and finally to the ten disciples gathered in an upper room!
