But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. (Luke 24:1-3 ESV)
Luke is the great historian and fact-finder. He has presented Theopholis with repeated testimony that Jesus Christ was wrongly executed as an innocent man. He now begins to present evidence that He did not stay dead: the moved stone, the lack of a body - these things call for further investigation, which is exactly what Luke is calling for. The evidence is overwhelming that Jesus has done what He said He will do: lay down His life and take it up again.
