About this episode

This episode discusses the fulfillment of Scripture in the events of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, highlighting the opening of the disciples' eyes to the new kingdom.

Among the many things that Luke illustrates in his record of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, is that all of it was in fulfillment of Scripture, including a number of references to Psalm 22. While sinful men sought to snuff out this king and his message about a coming kingdom, they in fact helped usher in the new kingdom by crucifying the Son of God. Then, on the third day, Jesus rose from the dead as He had prophesied way back in Galilee. The disciples’ eyes were opened to many things they had not previously understood, and the kingdom of heaven begins to spread in the hearts and minds of Christ’s disciples.
