Ever new and blessed in its touch
upon our, soul, is the message of
Easter: To bt assured once more
that the grave could not hoW our
blessed Lord and SSviour." and- that
Lbs ; arose In victory ovur sin
death, is our aeiiKmim -
day's lesson. .v. ,
It is very sppropriate conclu
sion to our three month ;study of the
Gospel of John and comes In the new
quarter because of Easter Sunday.
.Three helpful incidents make up
our lesson. - ' . ,
T. A Risen Lord ' and Glad Dis
ciples (20:19-23). i )
The appearance of our Lord to
his diBciples after he arose from the
grave emphasizes the close relatlon-.1.1-
wwpon the resurrection and
the Bfe and ministry of his followers.
Those who live for and serve the
risen Christ have a triumphant faith,
an toward peace, and an outward
authority and power. Their convic
tions are based on the Lord s own
words which came to assure me ai-
ciples as they secretly assembled for
fear of the Jews.
He stood in their midst and spoke
the words of peace (vv. 19-21) and
authority (w. 22, 23).
Peace of soul is absolutely essen
tial to useful and satisfied living.
Only as we are "steadfast, Immov
able," 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 Gdd, clothed with Holy Spirit pow
er, -the Church of tJod has his au
thority. 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. 20r,
"Then were the disciples glad when
they saw the Lord." They had rea
son for real Joy!
II. A Convinced Doubter and Glad
Testimony (20:26-29). -
Thomas made the serious error of
being absent from the gathering of
the disciples when the Lord Jesus
stood in their midst Let those who
commonly absent themselves from
'the place and hour of worship take
heed lest they . tnisi "blessing, and
coming later add nothing to the spir
itual 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
honest doubter. God is always ready
tn meet such with satisfactory proof.
The trouble is that there are so many
in the world who use professed
doubts to cover a life of sin.
Doubt may come to any man. In
itself it is no sin. ' But to cherish it
and hold to it in unbelief that is a
different matter. 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."
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
Easter morning, Peter had been as
sured of forgiveness for his denial
of the Lord and had been taken back
Into fellowship and service with him.
But hen something' seemed to
a.ve gone astray, for we find that
Peter and the others had returned
to their old life as fishermen. They
seem to have lost their vision, or
had become discouraged. '
But the Lord had not forgotten
them. He appeared and told them
where to catch fish, and then we
have the lovely scene around the fire
as they breakfasted together. -
There it was that the Lord met
Peter,- and as he had denied Christ
thrice he is asked to thrice declare
his devotion to him.
The man who thus declared his
readiness to serve Christ to the end
had many an opportuiut to prove
the. sincerity of that profession. -' He
met persecution and imprisonment,:
but to every effort of man to close
his mouth or to change. his witness
,b bad the simple reply of absolute
obedience to the Lord.
'Tradition tells us that this faithful
ness finally led Peter to a mar
tyra death. So wo see a life made
over, made' powerful, made glori
ous for God through the matchless
grace of our, Lord Jesus Christ. He
can do it for you, too. ' Will you let
him? " ,''
There could be no better time to
meet the risen Lord face to face
than on this day when we remember
his resurrection. Let him come into
your heart, dissolve your doubts, for
give your sins-and make-you glad!
