The Westminster Confession of Faith 32.1-2
I. The bodies of men, after death, return to dust, and see corruption;a but their souls (which neither die nor sleep), having an immortal subsistence,b immediately return to God who gave them. The souls of the righteous, being then made perfect in holiness, are received into the highest heavens, where they behold the face of God in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies:c and the souls of the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in torments and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day.d Besides these two places for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledgeth none.

The Westminster Confession of Faith 21.7

IV. This office the Lord Jesus did most willingly undertake,a which, that he might discharge, he was made under the law,b and did perfectly fulfill it;c endured most grievous torments immediately in his soul,d and most painful sufferings in his body;e was crucified, and died;fwas buried, and remained under the power of death, yet saw no corruption.g On the third day he arose from the dead,h with the same body in which he suffered;i with which also he ascended into heaven, and there sitteth at the right hand of his Father,j making intercession;kand shall return to judge men and angels at the end of the world.l

Discussion Questions:
What roles do the people in the narrative play? The women, the guards, the angel of the Lord, Jesus, the chief priests, and the elders? Which of these believed the message of the empty tomb and which one didn't?
Why is the resurrection theologically necessary to the historic Christian faith? Consider 1 Cor. 15:13-15, 17, 19.
