Do You Get It?

I shared some similar comments as the ones below with my Sunday School Class last week after an inquiring question from one of my students.


What happened next after Jesus "died"? Well he appeared to many believers and others. Do you think he really rose from the dead? He was raised from the dead. Not only that, others were also. Take a look at Matthew Chapter 27 and 28 and Luke Chapter 23 and 24. There is much to the Easter story that we may leave out. Not only did Jesus rise from the dead, but others were resurrected as a direct result of his Crucifixion. The ones he met after his death sure believed it. I say they finally "got it". They finally understood Jesus' references to himself and Biblical prophecy (Old and New Testaments). They finally understood that his plan was somewhat different from what they thought would happen, at least on this visit to Earth. The disciples and others understood so well that the gospel is still spreading this very day. They got it so well that many have withstood an Earthly death for Jesus (God).

Hallelujah Christ Arose!
