THE RISEN LORD AND,

HIS DISCIPLES

Christ risen frorh tiie dead, and become the first, fruit them 'that slept. I Corinthians 15:20. 4 , ' , . ,' , Ever new and blessed In its touch upon our souls Is the message of Easter. To be assured once more that the grave could not hold our blessed Lord and Saviour, and that he arose in victory over sin and death, is our delightful portion in today's lesson. It is a very appropriate conclusion to our three month study of the Gospel of John and comes in the new quarter because of Easter Sunday. I Three helpful incidents make up our lesson. ! I. A Risen Lord and Glad Disciples (20:19-23). i The appearance of our Lord to his disciples after he arose from the grave emphasizes the close relationship between the resurrection and the life and ministry of his followers. Those Who live for and serve the risen Christ have a triumphant faith, an inward peace,- and an outward authority and power. Their convictions are based on the Lord's own words which came to assure the disciples as they secretly assembled for fear of 'he Jews. . He stood in their midst and spoke the words of peace (w, 19-21) and authority (vv. 22, 23). Peace of soul is absolutely essential to useful and satisfied living. Only as we are "steadfast, immovable," can we be "abounding in the work of the Lord" (I Cor. 15:58). Steady at the center, active at the

circumference.

Commissioned and sent by the Son of God, clothed with Holy Spirit power, the Church of God has his authority. While some have read too much into verse 23, others have read out of it the real authority that God has given. Little wonder that we read (v. 20), "Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord." They had reason for reaoy! II. A Convinced Doubter and Glad

Testimony (20:26-29).

stood in thtir midst. Let those who

commonly absent themselves from the place and hour of worship take heed lest they miss a blessing, and coming later add nothing to the spiritual life of the church, but rather become troublers and doubters. But God graciously turns the doubt of Thomas into a means of blessing to all of us who since then have read of his experience. Thomas was an

One wise spiritual leader rightly counseled his people, "Believe your beliefs and doubt your doubts. Never make the mistake of doubting your beliefs or believing your doubts." I When doubting Thomas saw the Lord, his questions changed at once

to strong convictions and assured personal testimony to his blessed Lord. III. A Restored Disciple and Glad Service (21:15-17). After meeting Jesus on the first Easier morning, Peter had been assured of forgiveness for his denial of the Lord aud had been taken back into fellowship and service with him. But then something seemed to have gone astray, for we find that

The Bible tells us that it happened. The cross shows us How it came to pass. The flowers symbolize the resurrection. Flowers and cross and Bible; they are more than a pretty picture. They present an answer to the greatest of life's questions, "After death,what then?" You can't explain mysteries, but you can believe them. For nineteen hundred years Christians have been unable to explain the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but they have believed it. For those who have not read, or reading, have not believed, the answer to life's greatest question is, "After death, nothingl" For Christians, who know that Jesus Christ proved eternal life for them the answer is, "After death, life" The Bible tells us that He died and rose again from the grave. The cross tells us that He did it for us. The flowers tell us that through Easter we, too, have the hope of everlasting life. Bible, cross, flowers! They are the Easter, story. They are the message , of the Church. . ' " " "
