Welcome to our Deeper '11 blog!

Here you will find weekly postings that will help you go deeper into our year-long journey through the teachings of the Heidleberg Catechism . . . using Kevin DeYoung's book, The Good News We Almost Forgot: Rediscovering the Gospel in a 16th Century Catechism. Plan to stop back weekly as you walk with us in deepening our love for God!

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.

Thanks for stopping by . . .
