The Road to Emmaus
He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee: Luke 24:6 · Berean Standard Bible
The angels declared that Jesus wasn't there because He had risen, and they urged the women to remember what He had told them back in Galilee.
The angels didn't just announce a miracle — they pointed back to something Jesus had already said, reminding you that God keeps His promises.
The angelic messengers deliver the greatest news in history with an invitation to remember.
He is not here — He is risen. These words changed everything. The angels connected the dots between what Jesus promised and what God accomplished.
The angels declare the resurrection (Greek: ēgerthē, passive voice — 'He was raised') and appeal to Jesus' own prophetic words spoken in Galilee.
Luke emphasizes that the resurrection was foretold by Jesus Himself, grounding it in prior prophecy rather than presenting it as an unexpected event.
The angels proclaim the resurrection and remind the women of Jesus' earlier teaching.
The angels point backward to Galilee — the place of ordinary ministry — to validate this extraordinary moment. Remembering Jesus' words becomes the key to understanding.
4While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.
5As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
6He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:
7‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
8Then they remembered His words.
Read all of Luke 24 — Two disciples walking home in despair meet a stranger who opens the Scriptures. Their hearts burn. And then they recognize Him.
