Where does the Old Testament teach the resurrection? Every time Jesus spoke of his coming resurrection, he claimed the Hebrew Scriptures taught that it must occur on "the third day" (Matt 16:21; Mark 8:31; Luke 9:22; John 2:19). Paul made the same claim (1 Cor 15:4). Milestones to Emmaus explores over forty explicit references to "the third day" in the Old Testament, emphasizing the "suffering followed by glory" pattern that Jesus taught his Emmaus disciples (Luke 24:26). If we read the Old Testament using the interpretive method of the apostles, we can see that the third day resurrection is not just alluded to occasionally; rather, this gospel message is the heart of Holy Scripture. It is taught in Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms; it is the theme of the entire canonical Old Testament, just as Jesus said (Luke 24:27).
