The Importance of Seeing an Empty Tomb

Titus in Charlottesville asked this one. I regularly debate non-Christians on my podcast, proselytise or apostasise. And one argument I major on is the resurrection. Would he conclude that he was seeing a physically resurrected Christ on earth? Or simply that he was see Christ in the intermediary state in heaven before the final resurrection? Yes, it does. The empty tomb is really, really important and this is why, because everybody in the ancient world knew perfectly well, anyone who thought about such things,. but visions of recently dead people did happen from time to time.
