The Life of Jesusနမူနာ
Impossible
Just imagine living in the ’70s. If you needed money, you’d have to go to the bank to get it. Computers were not available. As a 10-year-old boy, I went to Paris, France, with my dad. We were visiting friends. As we explored the city, our friend walked towards a wall, pushed some buttons, and money came out! I was completely surprised! This was NOT possible. Surely it was a trick. Someone was joking with me. Was I in one of those television shows that tried to shock people?
Please take a couple of minutes to watch this powerful video clip from The Life of Jesus down below.
On a bigger and more serious scale, something like this happened in Jesus’ life. He died. Jesus was dead. And death is death. Once you’re dead, you can’t rise again. Life is over. Resurrection? IMPOSSIBLE.
Mary Magdalene came to the grave to honor Jesus. She wasn’t expecting it to be empty. Peter and John ran because they couldn’t believe that Jesus’ grave was open. Mary did not recognize Jesus later on. Until…He called her name. Jesus had said His followers would recognize Him by His voice. That’s what happened here. Mary recognizes His voice. She knows that it’s Jesus.
Jesus revealed Himself to others, too. More than 500 people saw Him. They saw the impossible: Jesus back from the dead. Unbelievable. Yet some of them died testifying about His resurrection. They must have been convinced and certain about their encounter with Jesus.
Life after death—maybe you don’t think that’s possible. I can imagine. It’s mind-blowing. But with Jesus, Friend, nothing is impossible. Get to know Him and keep learning to listen to His voice. :-)
Bible reference: John 20:1-23
Don’t forget: You are a miracle!
