John 20:19-29

They saw him die, his lifeless body hanging on that vile cross. How could this be? The women reported he was alive.. but who believes a women's testimony. It was Sunday night and they still hadn't seen him for themselves. They were huddled behind a locked door, afraid and bewildered. "Jesus came and stood among them and said, 'Peace be with you!' After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord." After three years of constant contact with him, this was so different but in some ways, the same. He sounded like their "Jesus"... he had the same mix of compassion and Truth... he still could see right through them ... he knew them so well.
