Remember His Words

"Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, 'Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! REMEMBER how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, "The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again." ' AND THEY REMEMBERED His words." (Luke 24:1-8)

"But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel." 

(Luke 24:21)

"Then He said to them, 'O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter His glory?' And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself." 

(Luke 24:25-27)

"Then He said to them, 'These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.' And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. Then He said to them, 'Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations. And you are witnesses of these things.' " (Luke 24:46-48)

"And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen." (Luke 24:52)

Obviously the crucifixion of Jesus shook His followers. He returned to them so they may remember His words. The word of His testimony perfected, established, strengthened, and settled them. (1 Peter 5:10)
