In this episode, we finish chapter 20 of the Book of John. Jesus has been resurrected from the dead. Meanwhile, His disciples are in a locked room hiding from the Jewish leaders because they fear the Jewish leaders will execute them as well. Then, Jesus just appears to them. Jesus tells them that He will be sending them out to preach the gossip of His life, death and resurrection. Jesus breathed on them and said, "'Receive the Holy Spirit.'" This represents that what Jesus did on the cross now makes it possible for them and all believers to receive or to be baptized with the Holy Spirit--though the full indwelling of the Spirit will not happen until Pentecost (Acts 2:1–4). Jesus tells them that those who accept Him will have their sins forgiven. Finally, John tells us why he wrote his book; that is, to focus on Jesus as the Messiah and God, and so those who read it will accept Jesus as Savior.

In this episode, we look at the resurrection of Jesus from the dead as we start chapter 20 out of the Book of John. Jesus died for the sins of mankind; He was buried; and early on Sunday morning Jesus rose from the dead. Mary Magdalene discovered that Jesus' tomb was empty first. She told Peter and John. Peter and John go to the tomb to find it empty, with only Jesus' burial linen and head cloth still there. They go home, however. Mary returns to the empty tomb to find two angels there. But as she is turning to leave, she sees the living Jesus but doesn't recognize Him. She believes He is the gardener who might have taken Jesus' body away. It is only after Jesus says her name does she realize that it is Jesus. Jesus tells her to go tell the other disciples that He is alive. She does, but the disciples don't believe her. Later that day, the disciples are in a locked room hiding from the Jewish leaders as they are in fear of them. Then Jesus just appears in the room. He shows them the nail holes in His hands from the crucifixion, and the wound from when the Roman soldiers pierced His side when He was on the cross. Afterwards, the disciples were filled with joy because they now know and believe that Jesus did come back from the dead. Amen!

In this episode, we finish our study of chapter 19 out of the Book of John; specifically, verses 31-42. We pick up where we left off in our last episode. In the last episode, Jesus said, "It is finished!" as He was dying on the cross. Then Jesus bowed His head and freely gave up His spirit. Jesus died for our sins. So, in this episode we look at Jesus' burial. After His death, Jesus' body was given to a secret disciple, Joseph of Arimathea. He, along with another secret disciple Nicodemus, prepared Jesus' body for burial by wrapping it in 75 pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes. They placed Jesus' body in a stone tomb that had never been used before. But as we will see in the next episode, Jesus will not remain in the tomb because Jesus will be resurrected from the dead!
