The Appearances of the Resurrected Christ

Jesus Christ appeared to numerous followers in the days between His resurrection and his ascension to heaven. Click here for a summary of his many and varied appearances. After reading through this chart (and I would encourage you to also pull out your Bible and read at least some of the biblical texts), take some time to reflect (either in your mind or in your journal) on the following questions:

1. What was the mindset of Jesus' followers BEFORE seeing Jesus?  AFTER seeing Jesus?

2. What did Jesus communicate to these followers during these appearances?

3. What effect do the records of these appearances have on your heart, soul, faith?

After your time of reflection, take a moment to spend some time in worship of our great God ... who in raising His Son our Savior from the grave was giving His hearty "Amen!" to Jesus' earthly ministry and mission.

Did Jesus Descend into Hell Following His Crucifixion?

The line of the Apostles' Creed  that troubles most Christians today is the line that states "He (Jesus) descended into hell." Did Jesus really descend into hell following his death on the cross? Didn't he tell the repentant thief who was crucified next to Him, "Today you will be in Paradise with me?"  Click here to read an article that tackles this question.
