The Resurrection

John 20:1-18

The resurrection of Jesus is both a cosmic event, signifying a new creation, and a personal one, impacting individuals like John and Mary Magdalene. John, arriving at the empty tomb, believed in the resurrection, witnessing the beginning of a new world where death is conquered. This event, occurring on the first day of the week, mirrors the creation story in Genesis, highlighting its significance. The empty tomb, encounters with the risen Jesus, and the spread of Christianity all point to the truth of the resurrection. This event is not just a parable or metaphor, but a reality that offers hope, new life, and new creation for all who believe and follow Jesus!
