Reasons why it was difficult for the disciples to believe that Jesus had resurrected.
- They have witnessed his death and burial
- The report about the resurrected Christ was brought by women who were despised
- The disciples expected a glorious triumphant political Messiah/not one that would die/a suffering Messiah
- They lacked faith.
- There was conflicting message/information about the resurrection/He’s stolen
- The tomb was heavily guarded by the Roman soldiers big rock.
- They were ignorant of the divine nature of Jesus.
- Influence from their historical background on resurrection/never happened.
