WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM THE TOMB:

About this book

This little book studies all eleven of the resurrection appearances of Jesus. It is intended for use during the fortnight after Easter Sunday; but could be used at any time of year, by individuals or by groups. There are 14 short chapters, one for each day.Each chapter comprises a bible passage (included in the book), a commentary on the passage, a related hymn, a reflection/action section, and a short 'Prayer to Jesus'.Some of the ideas in the book should prove challenging. The book will hopefully increase your knowledge about the Resurrection and your amazement at it.Easter Sunday is the start of the 50 days of Eastertide, the Easter Season – the run up to Ascension Day, soon followed by Whit Sunday/Pentecost. My prayer is that this little book will enable you to remind yourself – or perhaps become aware for the first time - of the overwhelming testimony in the Gospels to the Resurrection of Jesus. And that arising from this you will sustain the joy of Easter Day well into Eastertide and throughout the following year.The chapter headings The empty tomb discovered by Mary Magdalene, Mary, and Salome The empty tomb seen by Peter and John Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene Jesus appears to Cleopas at Emmaus Jesus appears to the disciples and their companions in Jerusalem Jesus appears to Thomas and other disciples in Jerusalem Jesus appears to seven disciples by the Sea of Galilee Jesus appears to The Eleven in Galilee Jesus’s other to Peter, to James, to 500 people Jesus appears to Paul Jesus ascends into Heaven The Holy Spirit descends at Pentecost Were you there?
