Listen "Advent 2024 Read-Along John Chapter 20"
Episode Synopsis
In John Chapter 20, the story unfolds on the morning of Jesus' resurrection. Mary Magdalene discovers the empty tomb and runs to tell Peter and “the disciple who Jesus loved” (traditionally understood to be John), who come to investigate. They find the grave clothes but no body, leading to confusion. Mary stays behind weeping and encounters the risen Jesus, though she initially doesn’t recognize Him. Jesus then appears to the disciples, offering peace and breathing the Holy Spirit onto them. He commissions them to forgive sins. A week later, Thomas, who wasn’t present the first time, doubts the resurrection. Jesus appears again and invites Thomas to touch His wounds, leading Thomas to proclaim, "My Lord and my God!" The chapter concludes by stating that the signs recorded in the Gospel are written to help people believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing, they may have life in His name.
