Crucifixion Burial and Resurrection
Luke 23 – 24
After the Passover Supper, one of Jesus’ disciples betrayed him and having sold him out to the religious sect, they captured Jesus and sent him to the Romans to be scourged and crucified. Scourging was a brutal practice of punishment used by the Romans whereby they would beat the victim with a leather whip of several strands with beads of lead attached to the ends of them. 
This would literally tear the flesh to the bone so that the victim’s ribs and spine were exposed. During crucifixion they would nail the victim’s hands and feet to a wooden structure made into the shape of a cross. They would then lift the cross up and plant it vertically in the ground were all could see. This was used as a deterrent to dissidents.
So Jesus, the Lamb of God, an innocent man, (without blemish, remember the Passover lamb earlier in the article) was murdered by some of the same people who were his followers earlier in his ministry. After he died on the cross, his body was wrapped in burial cloths and laid in a tomb donated to him by a man named Joseph of Arimathea.
Three days later, some of his followers came to visit his tomb and found the stone rolled away. When they entered the tomb, Jesus body was gone and as they were greatly perplexed about his, two angels appeared to them and said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ” – Luke 24
After this Jesus appeared to the disciples alive, some of them still in disbelief at what they were seeing. He showed them his scars on his hands and side and they believed. Jesus appeared to his disciples over a period of 40 days before he ascended to heaven in the presence of 500 witnesses. – Acts 1:3
