Jesus is alive!
Someone coming back from the dead was no more common in ancient times than it is now. Jesus’ disciples were stunned. It was hard to believe what they were seeing.
This is where we see the post-resurrected Jesus announce good new to his disciples. “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah…”.
The disciples needed to see the resurrected Lord with their own eyes. They also needed Jesus to remind them of his mission.
I need to see Jesus daily and be reminded of his mission.
Everyone needs to “see” Jesus before they believe in him. I need to be persistent in pointing people to Jesus.
Jesus, thank you for conquering the grave! May I live in your resurrection power!
