Matthew’s narrative of the resurrection (27:57-28:20) is concerned both with the theology of the resurrection and also the historical fact of the resurrection. Therefore, while he shows us the theological implications of Jesus rising from the grave, we can also see a detailed case for the historical truth of the resurrection. Matthew lays out 3 truths of the resurrection of Jesus for us:
1. Proof of the Resurrected Savior
2. Patience of the Resurrected Savior
3. Purpose of the Resurrected Savior
