It has always interested me that Jesus walked the earth for 40 days after His resurrection.  After He hung on the cross, after He had lain cold and dead in the tomb, He walked around the area of Jerusalem and was seen by hundreds of people.  After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive.  He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command:  “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 1:3-5)

When Jesus said, “It is finished,” He was talking about having finished what God the Father had sent Him to do on the Cross, that is to Redeem us from our sin.  The work of being the Sacrificial Lamb was finished.  However, there was so much more to do before He returns as the King of kings and Lord of lords. On that first Easter morning Jesus’ friends were anxious about getting to the tomb and preparing His body properly for burial.  They had no way of knowing the surprise that awaited them.
