Easter Sunday!
Jesus is alive! He is risen from the dead. Death and Sin are defeated. He has risen from the dead. This morning we looked at Mary Magdalene's experience at the tomb. Twice she was asked, "Why are you crying?" John 20:1-18.
A: 2nd Sunday of Easter - Fear & Doubt vs. the Resurrection
John 20:19-31
Rumors are swirling about the tomb being empty and Jesus having been seen. Some of the disciples have probably already seen him. Still, they go hide in a locked room from angry people who killed Jesus. Later, evan after they've all seen him, Thomas doubts. Jesus comes through every barrier of fear and doubt and shows himself to them, breaths on them and sends them out. And they worship him.
