MEDITATION ON TODAY’S GOSPEL (2015 Don Schwager-Daily-Scriptures.net) One thing is certain, if Jesus had not risen from the dead and appeared to His disciples, we would never have heard of Him. Nothing else could have changed sad and despairing men and women into people radiant with joy and courage. The reality of the resurrection is the central fact of the Christian faith. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Lord gives us "eyes of faith" to know Him and the power of His resurrection. The greatest joy we can have is to encounter the living Christ and to know Him personally as our Lord and Savior. Do you accept the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection with skeptical doubt and disbelief or with trusting faith and joyful wonderment?
