Jesus’ body is truly absent, silencing any notion of a stolen corpse or spiritualized “presence.” • Matthew 28:6 echoes the same declaration, underscoring that multiple witnesses found the grave vacant. • John 20:6-8 records Peter and John inspecting the linen cloths, further confirming no human removal. • Acts 2:24 later proclaims that “it was impossible for Him to be held by death,” showing that the empty tomb is God’s vindication of His Son. He has risen! • This is the triumphant centerpiece of the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). The risen Christ validates every promise He made and every prophecy foretold. • Romans 6:9 assures us, “We know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again.” His resurrection is permanent and bodily, not merely symbolic. • Because He lives, believers possess a living hope (1 Peter 1:3) and the guarantee of their own resurrection (John 11:25-26). • Revelation 1:18 pictures the ascended Lord holding “the keys of Death and Hades,” demonstrating His absolute authority gained through the empty tomb. Remember how He told you • The angels remind the women that Jesus had already laid out the whole plan (Luke 9:22; 18:31-33). Their invitation is to recall and trust the Word that had been spoken. • This pattern—God speaks, events unfold exactly as foretold—reinforces Scripture’s accuracy and our call to believe before we see (John 14:29). • Forgetfulness breeds fear (Luke 24:5); remembrance restores faith (John 2:22, where the disciples later “believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken”). • The command to “remember” still applies: rehearse His promises, especially when circumstances appear bleak. While He was still in Galilee • Jesus’ predictions began early, during His Galilean ministry (Matthew 16:21; Mark 9:30-32). Long before Jerusalem’s shadows, He was preparing His followers for the cross and empty tomb. • This time stamp proves foreknowledge; nothing about the Passion caught Him off guard (John 10:17-18). • It also highlights His patience—teaching the same truth repeatedly so His disciples would eventually connect the dots. • By rooting the promise in Galilee, the angel links past words to present reality, affirming that Jesus’ timeline unfolded exactly as He said. summary Luke 24:6 proclaims the historical, bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. The empty tomb (“He is not here”) is the factual evidence; the declaration (“He has risen!”) is the gospel’s heartbeat. The angel urges the women—and every reader—to anchor faith in Jesus’ prior words (“Remember how He told you”) spoken long before events in Jerusalem (“while He was still in Galilee”). The verse calls us to confident trust: the Savior keeps His promises, death is defeated, and hope is alive for all who believe. (6) Remember how he spake unto you.-The direct appeal to the memory of the women is peculiar to St. Luke, and shows us what does not lie on the surface of the Gospel history, that they, too, were among those to whom were uttered the prophecies of the Passion and the Resurrection of which we read in Luke 9:43-45. In the words of Matthew 28:6, "He is risen, as He said," we have an indirect reference of the same character.Verses 6, 7. - He is not here, but is risen. These words were repeated in each of the angelic communications at the sepulchre. Remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. The angels here call to the women's memory the Master's former promises of the Resurrection. In SS. Matthew and Mark the angel bids them tell the disciples not to forget the appointed place of meeting in Galilee, referring to the Lord's words on the way from the "Last Supper" to Gethsemane (Matthew 26:32; Mark 45:28).Parallel Commentaries ...
