"First
Thoughts on Year C Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Easter Day,"
William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "Luke’s main point is that
there was no body in the tomb, which in itself could have meant many
things – most commonly theft or interference of some kind. In Mark
the women entered and saw a young man. In Luke they see nothing
initially. The emptiness makes space in the story for their
distress." |

Notes by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks

| "Can we say that we really
believe in the resurrection of the Lord if we aren't willing to tell
others about it?" |

"New Vistas for a Misguided Hope," Kenneth E. Bailey, Presbyerian
Outlook. (Requires free registration.)
| "At the Cross, costly love is
demonstrated in response to evil, and at the empty tomb victory is
won over that evil. Following this path the Messiah enters into his
glory and a new world is born for all of us." |

Commentary,
Luke 24:1-9, William D. Watley,
The African American Lectionary, 2009.
| "Like the women who came to the
tomb on that first Easter Sunday morning, we can receive so much
more than we expect. We can receive the resurrected, ascended,
exalted, and reigning Jesus and soon coming King as our personal
Lord and Savior." |

| "Incongruities and perplexities
continue. Partial faith and amazement is the order of the day. Lack of

that isn't such bad news after all." |

"Empty Tomb, Empty Talk,"
Thomas G. Long, The Christian Century, 2001.
Religion Online.
| "It is somewhat reassuring to realize
that the first Christian sermon ever preached did not register high on the
Richter scale. When the women came back from the cemetery on Easter
morning, they brought with them word of an empty tomb and astonishing
news: "He is not here but has risen!" All Christian preaching begins
here." |

"Easter Calls Us to Resurrection -- Our Own," Joan Chittister,
National Catholic Reporter, 2001.
| "Like the women who go to the sepulcher
on Easter morning to bless the body because of which their entire lives
had been changed (Luke 24:1-12), we have been preparing for six weeks to
answer this last, most momentous question: Will we ourselves, touched by
Jesus, now rise and do life differently?" |

| "The
Disciples' Inspection of the Empty Tomb," Bill Craig, Leadership
U.
| "...it therefore seems more
plausible to posit common tradition rather than interdependence for
Luke and John's story of the disciples' inspection of the empty
tomb." |
|
| "Recognizing
the Risen Lord," Marianne Sawicki, Theology Today, 1988.
| "Action on behalf of the needy
is not an implication of resurrection faith, but a precondition for
it. Talk about resurrection is literally meaningless in the absence
of such action. This raises the serious question of what it takes to
speak correctly today about resurrection, to mean what the tradition
has meant by the term." |
