"Triumph of the Son of Man"
Luke 24:1-9 ESV

There were three thing necessary for salvation: Jesus had to be the Son of Man, he had to be crucified, and he had to rise on the third day. While not explicitly foretold in the Old Testament, the resurrection was specifically foreshadowed in both Genesis 22:4 and Hosea 6:1-2. It is because of Jesus' divine nature that his death, atoning sacrifice, and resurrection have made us children of the resurrection, and partakers in his eternal glory.

Luke 24:1-9 ESV

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
