A dear Christian friend asked me to ponder then answer this question:

"Why was no one present to see Jesus, during the time (at the moment) that He rose (was rising) from the dead?"

Quite a few people were privileged to walk and talk with Jesus AFTER his resurection, but no one was present when He actually rose and came back to life. Why's that? Any thoughts? I've just begun to ponder this question and possible answers. I'll keep you posted!
