Who believes what we’ve heard and seen?
Who would have thought God’s saving power would look like this?
JOHN 20:18 (MSG)
Mary Magdalene went, telling the news to the disciples: “I saw the Master!” And she told them everything he said to her.
THE ESSENCE
We, too, are called to be witnesses of what has been seen and heard of Jesus, as strange as it all may sound.
DAILY FODDER
Yes, we pass along the witness accounts of the early disciples, but we also share about our own encounters with him.
PRAYER
Risen Lord, you are the promise keeper. Forgive me for allowing this world's empty promises to leave me jaded. Heal my wounded spirit. You fulfilled your promises through your resurrection. Renew my sense of wonder, so that like Mary, I too will share the gospel news of your resurrected love. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
