at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not
have flesh and bones, as you see I have." (Luke 24:39)

the wounds of Jesus after the resurrection had to be a powerful life-changing
one for them. Imagine what it would be like to go from despair to celebration
in a matter of minutes. They had given up on the cause that had taken them far
from family and home only to realize that all was not lost—Jesus was with
them!

incredible experience gave the disciples strength and courage as they faced the
many challenges of sharing the gospel throughout Jerusalem, Judea and the ends
of the earth. How have the experiences in your life transformed you and focused
you on God’s will and direction?
When God uses a dramatic
experience to transform your life, He is doing it for a reason, and He is
