Lesson 12

The Word of God was made flesh and lived among human beings. He showed the world the love of God but was hated by many. He was taken before a judge and the people shouted for His death. Christ died, but God raised Him from the dead.

MARY MAGDALENE SEE THE LORD, chapter 20 , verse 1-18.

Very early Sunday morning, Mary Magdalene went to the place where the body of the Lord had been placed. She saw that the stone had been moved from the entrance. She ran to tell Peter and John that the body was no longer in its place.

The disciples went to their home, and Mary Magdalene stayed outside the tomb weeping. Jesus spoke to her, but she did not realize it was Him (v. 16).

THE DISCIPLES SEE THE LORD, chapter 20, verses 19-31.

The disciples met together in an upper room with the doors closed because they were afraid of the Jews. The Jesus appeared in their midst, showing them that He was alive. He greeted them with the words, "Peace be unto you." They were very glad. Thomas was not with them at this time and did not believe that the Lord had been resurrected. Wight days later, the Lord appeared to the disciples again. This time Thomas was with them. The Lord presented Himself to Thomas especially, who was smitten because of His unbelief and cried out, "My Lord and my God."

THE DISCIPLES GO FISHING, chapter 21.

Later the disciples went fishing and fished all night. However, they caught nothing. In the morning, they saw the Lord standing on the shore beside a charcoal fire. He told them to cast their net on the right side of the ship. They caught a lot of fish. Again, they recognized that it was the Lord. Jesus prepared the fish and they ate together.

Afterward, the Lord asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" three times. Then the Lord told Peter, "Feed my sheep" (v. 15-17).

The disciple John wrote this book (v. 24).

Christ also taught and did much more than is recorded in this book (v. 25).

If you believe in Jesus as the Son of God, you will be saved now and have eternal life.
