Rather than trying to tie up all the uncertainties and challenges your hearers are facing into a neat little bow, you acknowledge the difficulties they face...even after the resurrection.

Like the women who came despite their questions, your hearers will gather despite their uncertainties, and they will be looking for a word of honest hope.

It is safe to say that Easter this year will be unlike any Easter we have ever seen.

In Luke 24:1-12 we don’t get a carefully constructed theology of the resurrection. The evangelist doesn’t work out all the implications of Easter for our life and faith. He doesn’t offer a logical argument for why we should believe Jesus rose physically from the dead. Instead, he simply describes what happened.
