Why? Because God the Father needed Jesus to die, so He did. God wanted Him raised from the dead, so He was. For me, the main punch or impact of Jesus coming and dying is that He walked out of the grave alive. The stone was rolled away, by the power of God.”
“Miss Ford.” asked Jimmy “ did any of his disciples help him?”
“No,” she said “ they were so terrified that they were hiding in a locked upper room but the women who were his friends were not afraid. They went to the grave.”
“So here is another ‘punch’, she continued.
Thomas openly doubted that Jesus had risen from the dead until he had definite undeniable proof. ‘Eight days later, His disciples were once again inside with the doors locked, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Jesus said to Thomas, ”Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.”
Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”
{John 20: 27 - 28]
“Can you imagine what it was like to see Him alive and to see the nail marks on his hands and the wound on His side where the soldier had pierced Him?”
“I would have passed out,” squawked Millie
“So now class,” Miss Ford said with a smile “Resurrection brought it all together. Now, it all makes sense! All the suffering and agony created a way out. His resurrection broke the hold that sin had over us. Through His death and resurrection, we have been set free. No longer slaves to sin but children of God”.
