Fear and Loathing in Jerusalem (Matthew 28:1-10)
The women tell the truth first, while the systems take their time catching up. The people with the least protection and the least institutional credibility see something real, but the people with money and power move faster than the speed of sound to explain it away.
But that pattern isn't just first-century Jerusalem, is it? Any community that's ever watched an official story steamroll the thing that all the witnesses knew to be true knows what’s going on.
Think about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I mean, it's possible to capture everything in high definition video and still have it not be enough to slip past the “official account” without being contorted into something unrecognizable.
Resurrection, it turns out, isn't just a theological claim about what happened to Jesus. It's a claim about whose testimony counts as true.
