What Does Luke 24:22 Mean?
Their story takes a strange turn: women of their own company went to the tomb at dawn and came back with an astonishing report. The travelers repeat it as one more bewildering item, not yet as good news.
The first ripples of resurrection reach them as rumor — astonishing but unabsorbed. They stand where many stand: aware of the testimony, stirred by it, unsure what to do with it. Astonishment is not yet faith, but it is often the road toward it. God uses even half-believed reports to keep a heart open until Christ himself confirms them.
