Encounters with Jesus – Part 7: The Resurrected Jesus

Do you remember meeting someone important to you and what you said or experienced in those few moments? It might be a great story that you enjoy telling to friends and new acquaintances when the opportunity presents itself. In the weeks leading up to Easter, we have been telling the stories of some of the people who had an encounter with Jesus during his time on earth, and their stories continue to be told throughout the centuries. A few moments with Jesus changed their whole outlook on life. One morning, people had an encounter with Jesus unlike anything they could have ever dreamed of or imagined. He had just been put to death on a cross and buried. The thoughts that were running through their minds must have crushed all their hopes for the future. This is one encounter with Jesus that makes all the difference to our lives and our faith.
