When Jesus Shows Up

John 20-Part 3

LET IT GLOW 

It was Sunday evening. The doors were shut and locked. The terrified disciples were sitting around talking about current events. They were fearful of the Jews since Jesus was crucified. Suddenly, Jesus appears to them, apparently by coming through the wall. Can you see the stunned look on the faces of the 10 guys frozen and silent us the disciples thought Jesus to be a ghost. 

Peace be unto you. (verse 19) 

What can be concluded here?

• Jesus brought a message of peace to the ten disciples. 
• Jesus had a real body.
• His body had been resurrected, not just His Spirit.
• The nail prints proved that He was Jesus and not someone else. (Liberty Bible Commentary)

Jesus proved it was He by showing the disciples His hands and side. Can you see the relief on their faces? Can you hear the chatter in the once silent room?

Jesus can speak peace into trouble. Is your heart full of unrest? 

Though your circumstances are unstable, He can provide the internal stability your heart needs. (Tony Evans)

LET IT GROW 

How would you have reacted to all of this? The disciples were glad when they saw Lord Jesus. (verse 20)

*Please pray for us as we fly to Hawaii today with our son's family. We are celebrating our granddaughter's high school graduation with them. We return on the 9th. So blessed to be able to go see the beauty of God's creation. I am writing posts ahead of time so continue to study with me.

God had sent Jesus to earth on a kingdom mission to atone for the sins of the world so that all who believe would receive eternal life. Now the Son was sending His disciples on a kingdom mission to proclaim that message and make other disciples throughout the world. (Matt. 28:16-20)

Our purpose is to go and teach the truth, Word of God, and the salvation provided by Jesus Christ. Although meeting needs and showing love is included as we go. 

LET IT GO

Use us today, Lord, for your purpose and glory.
