The intermediate moment of the resurrection - the time of faith
Dr. Roberto Miranda
SUMMARY: The passage of Luke 24:1-6 introduces us to the time of faith, the in-between time of the resurrection. Sometimes God does transcendental things in the spiritual realm, but it takes time for that fact to be transmitted to the realm of time and space. There is a time of disconnection and mismatch between the act of God and the full manifestation of the consequences of that gesture of God in the realm of time and space. It is the territory of faith, and we are always living in it through our lives. When God says something, we have to believe it and live within the promise of God, even if the vision is late, because it will be fulfilled.
Imagine this couple of women, early morning, Sunday, they are depressed and sad because the Lord has been crucified, he has died, they are not thinking about his resurrection or anything like that. For these women the The death of Jesus is something resounding, unappealable, definitive, and they are simply going to adore the body of the Lord with aromatic spices, wrap it, in the appropriate canvases according to the time, completely prepare their body for its permanent stay in a dark cave where He now himself hastily laid there after his crucifixion, in these women there is no hope or even suspicion that something momentous has happened.
When they arrived at the tomb they found something extraordinary, and it is that they found the stone removed from the tomb, it had been removed, a very heavy stone that was rolled on a rail and closed the entrance to the tomb. And entering the tomb they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus, why? Because the Lord was no longer there, he had risen. It says that "being perplexed, behold, two men in shining garments stood next to them," and they understood that these were supernatural beings. He says that as they were afraid and lowered their faces to the ground in reverence and fear, these two angelic beings asked them, and this is where I want you to meditate, "Why do you search among the dead for the one who lives? He is not here, if not that he has risen. "
