This last week of his life is called Passion Week, because we get to see how passionate Jesus was and is in His love for every one of us. I am hoping to be able to get all of us to see and understand the great passionate love Jesus had for us and thus inspire and energize that same great passionate love in us for Christ and for others.

Message #4: He’s Still Making Appearances
Text: John 20:1-8, 11-14, 24-28; 21:15-17

If you were Jesus and you were dead and now, you’re alive, who would you want to appear to first?
Jesus had specific reasons for appearing to certain people after His resurrection.
1. A WOMAN NAMED MARY
Jesus isn’t as far away as you think, so look for Him.
2. A MAN NAMED THOMAS
Jesus isn’t bothered by your doubts, so reach out for Him.
3. A MAN NAMED PETER
Jesus isn’t giving up on you, so love Him.
In the first book of the Bible God came looking for Adam and Eve because He loved them. In the last book of the Bible He comes knocking on your heart’s door and wants to share a meal together as friends.
