He has risen! He has risen indeed! Many Christians throughout the world join together in this truthful and joyous acclamation on Easter Sunday. While this is right and true for Christians, the ramifications of the resurrection of Jesus Christ affect us every day. Jesus resurrection has far reaching and eternal implications for those who believe as well as those who don't.
Questions to Ponder:
1. In John chapter twenty vv.19-26, Jesus says to His disciples three times, "Peace be with you. Why do you think Jesus asks this? Does the resurrection have anything to do with Jesus' extension of peace?
2. In John 20:19&26 Jesus the risen Christ is reunited with His disciples. He came to them and stood among them even though the door was locked on both occasions....pretty amazing huh? What does this truth illicit in Thomas' heart? What does it illicit in your heart this morning?
3. In the past few days Jesus did many miraculous things, but His own resurrection was by far the most important. Why does John record these miracles and Jesus' own resurrection in his gospel?
Pray: Read Romans 4:25 and give thanks to God for His Son Jesus Christ through whom we have not only been forgiven, but have been made righteous and made fit for our heavenly dwelling!
