The stories of the Resurrection in the gospels are very “simple,” unadorned with theological comments. The Resurrection itself is not described. (In fact nobody saw resurrection. Nor can we say it took place on the 3rd day. When the ladies reached at the tomb in the early morning after Sabbath the resurrection had already taken place. When? Nobody knows. According to John's theology resurrection is on the cross itself: "You will be with me in Paradise TODAY." These resurrection stories only describe the discovery of the empty tomb and meetings with Jesus. The Easter narratives represent the attempt to proclaim the Easter message in ANOTHER MEDIUM, the Medium of narration (story telling) set within a historical context. However, this attempt later brings in a number of puzzles and problems along with its “eye witness nature”:<br /><br />• It is difficult to reconcile the various Gospel accounts on matters of: where did Jesus appear after his resurrection? Galilee? Jerusalem? Both?, how many women came to the tomb. Which angels did they see? <br />• Unlike the Passion narrative, which is a continuous story from start to finish, and which is unfolded in fundamentally the same way in all the four Gospels, the resurrection of Jesus came to be proclaimed in a group of independent stories.Zach Nedunkanalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162122443258727742noreply@blogger.com
