What does Luke 24:22-24 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Even they were not aware of anything outstanding happening on the third day yet since the report of some women in their group of disciples puzzled them. There was evidence of an empty tomb but no evidence of Jesus (cf. Luke 24:12). This shows that the Resurrection is all-important in the Christian faith. An empty tomb was just a strange puzzle that discouraged these disciples. Even an angelic visit did not lift their spirits (cf. Luke 1:22). Jesus" resurrection would prove to be something infinitely more significant.
