Jesus Christ Appears To His Disciples St. Mary COC Sunday April 25 th 2012 “The disciples were glad when they saw the Lord” (John 20:20)
Very Early Sunday Morning…
“He is not here; for He is risen” (Matthew 28:6)
Mary Magdalene went home and told the disciples with complete faith and trust that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken to her indeed.
What is faith?
The disciples were in St. Mark’s house because they were afraid of the Jews so they locked all the doors. Peace Be to You. “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any they are forgiven, if you hold the sins of any, they are held”
One disciple was missing…! “We have seen the Lord” “ Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in His side, I will not believe ”
Eight days later… Peace Be to You. “Put your finger here, and see my hands, and put your hand on my side, do not be faithless but believing” “My Lord and my God”
Miracle
