The Pattern of Easter

3/26/2016

0 Comments

 
How did the disciples respond to Jesus' resurrection?  They did not accept the truth easily.  In fact their response and experience fits into the fourfold pattern of:  Denial; Hearing; Encounter; and Confessing & Proclaiming.

(1)    Denial– at first every one of them denied that Jesus could possibly be risen.
(2)    Hearing (The Message was Proclaimed to them) – before they saw Jesus every one of His followers heard the message that He was risen; from angels or others who had already seen Him.  But they still refused to believe.
(3)    Encounter with Jesus – only after hearing that Christ is Risen did they get to see Him.  This is when the disciples finally believed Jesus was alive.
(4)    Confessing & Proclaiming – they confessed their faith in Jesus; and then began proclaiming, telling others that Jesus is risen.

Christ is Risen!
He is Risen Indeed!
