John and Greg discuss John 20 which speaks of what happened when the disciples discovered that Jesus was not in the tomb. Mary Magdeline cried and had no idea of what Jesus told the disciples of what would happen regarding his death, burial, and resurrection. They point out to us that God will reveal to us what we need to know at the time we need to know it. They continue to share that this is another reason to abide with God. It’s in our daily communion with Lord, reading his word, hearing his voice, and writing down what he says is how he will reveal himself and his will to us. In this chapter Jesus reveals himself to Mary, the disciples, and also Thomas. When he appears to the disciples one of the first things he says to them and in turn revealing his message is, “As the father has sent me, I am sending you”. As we abide the Lord will not only reveal himself to us but he will reveal his message and plan which is simple; share the gospel. Tell everyone that Jesus will not hold their sin against them, repent and turn your heart to Jesus. They continue to encourage us to get started and share our testimony of how God saved us and give them the opportunity to give their hearts to Jesus.
