Luke 24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”
From this point on, to those who knew Him referred to Christ as The Risen One. His followers introduced Him that way when they spoke of Him. Peter told his fellow Jews that Jesus was the one they had crucified but that God had raised up (Acts 2) and Paul often referred to Him as "The Risen Christ". As we said yesterday, Christ's role as ransom and redeemer are incomplete without His resurrection as the Risen One. That fact should make all the difference in what we seek and how we live.
