AFTER THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS! Happy Resurrection Season 2022! We are so blessed to see another Resurrection Season for our Lord and Savior! Scripture Texts:
Gospel of John, Chapters 20 and 21, The Book of Acts, Chapter 1 ************************************************* How exciting to know that after His Resurrection, He continued on with the works of the Kingdom of God for 40 Days before His Ascension back to Father, God at the Right Hand, which is known as the Seat of Power.
Jesus was first seen by Mary Magdelene, who was the first female Disciple of Jesus (See the Gospel of John, Chapter 20, Verses 1-18). Mary shared with the other Disciples, and then later Jesus appeared unto them (Gospel of John, Chapter 20, Verses 19-31, and Chapter 21). Jesus showed Himself to His Disciples Three Times.
One of the Disciples, named Didymus aka Thomas, did not believe it was Jesus. He did not believe it was Jesus until he was able to touch Jesus' hands and side where they had pierced him. This is where we get the term, "Doubting Thomas."
Jesus was then seen by another 500 before He went back to Heaven. He was still preaching, teaching, do miracles of healing, and sharing about the Holy Spirit to come upon all Believers, which started with the Early Church in the Book of Acts; and His Return.
It's Resurrection Season! Next will examine The Ascension of Jesus!
