Peppers from page B4 they didn't believe. The men investigated and sure enough the tomb was empty. Their return to the upper room increased their fear and doubt. When the two dis ciples from Emmaus reported that they saw Christ, the atmosphere in the room didn't change a thing. A good study Bible will list all of His appear ances and where they can be found. Lesson: David C. Cook's "Echoes Sunday School" commentary divides the lesson this way: " Christ's Resurrection - the physi cal evidence, the scrip tural evidence and Christ's Ascension - His return to Glory. When the women and Mary . Magdalene found that the tomb was empty, the first question that pops into your head is, "Where is the body?" To remove any suspicions about the body being stolen or hid den, Jesus visits His peo ple to reassure them that the Resurrection is liter al. He understands their emotional and spiritual state of mind. His appearances will comfort, encourage and commission them. When He appears, first they are able to touch Him. They are directed to look at His hands and feet for a positive identification. On one occasion, Thomas is invited to put his hand in Christ's side (John 20:26-31). To convince them that He isn't a ghost. He eats fish in their presence. Their range of emotions had to soar from fear to peace, doubt to amazement, uncertainty to joyfulness! Now to address their spiritual needs, the Messiah points them to scripture to fill the void. He reminds them how the Law, the prophets, and the Psalms testify to His identity and commissions them to spread the Word by the power of the Holy Spirit! Leading them to an area near Bethany, He blesses them and is taken up into the Heavens where there will be no rejection, no suffering, and no death. His glory will last forever! Application: Every now and then, Jesus shows up in our lives, individually and collec tively to encourage, to calm and to refocus our lives. Life will have its ups and downs that will scare us, make us doubt, and, in extreme cases, move up to give up. Our encounters with Him address what we need. Yes, He resides in Heaven, but when we need Him, He comes! Studying Scripture makes us aware of His promises and His faith fulness! That is a bless ing because we witness his presence for others and are assured that He will do the same for us. When we recognize His visit, are our hearts not full because of that? He continues to help us along this journey. Are you glad about it? I know I am. Community from page BI Northwest Middle School, 5501 Murray Rd..
