Luke 24:1-10 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared… 1. In the fact of Christ's resurrection we have the great proof of His Divine mission, and a call to submit to Him as our teacher and Lord. 2. Let us improve this event as a demonstration that Christ's sacrifice was accepted, and an encouragement to trust in His righteousness for justification. 3. The resurrection of Christ is connected with the observance of the first day of the week as the Christian Sabbath. 4. Let us see that this event has its proper purifying effect on our heart and conduct. We are called to be conformed to the image of Christ in general, and we are particularly called to be conformed to Him in His death and resurrection. 5. The resurrection of Jesus Christ presents the pattern and pledge of the happy and glorious resurrection of all His followers. There will be a resurrection "both of the just and of the unjust." 6. The resurrection of Christ should keep us in mind that we shall stand before Him as our judge. (James Foote, M. A.)
