Jesus made a reconnaissance mission to earth. Jesus came to determine, as a man, what do the humans know. We hear this in his difficulty in communicating heavenly concepts and in his questions; i.e. "How is it that you do not understand?"
The goal was to reveal the nature and name of Yehovah to the world; to reveal to mankind the path to salvation. "Keep my commandments." Jesus said.

Matthew 28:1-10; Mark 16:1-11; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-18
On the morning of the first day of the week Mary Magdalene with the other Mary went to the sepulcher where Jesus had been buried.
There was a great earthquake; and an angel descended from Heaven, rolled back the stone from the door of the sepulcher, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning and his clothes were white as snow. The angel spoke to the women, saying:
“Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here; for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee. There shall ye see him. Lo, I have told you.”
The women ran from the sepulcher quickly with great awe and joy to tell the disciples what had happened.
On their way, Jesus met them and said:
“All hail.”
The women fell at his feet and worshiped him. He continued:
“Be not afraid. Go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.”

Mark 16:12,13; Luke 24:13-35
Two of the disciples were on their way to the village of Emmaus, nearly eight miles from Jerusalem. They were sad as they discussed the recent events. As they walked along, Jesus came to them and went with them; but they did not recognize him. Jesus said to them:
“What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?”
One of the disciples, names Cleopas, replied:
“Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and has not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?”
Jesus asked:
“What things?”
The disciples replied to him:
“Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people. And now the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel. And beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulcher. And when they found not his body, they came,...
