Bible Study - John 20 by Pastor Omar Ellison on March 4, 2026

In this deep dive into the 20th chapter of John, Pastor Omar Ellison explores the raw, human emotions following the crucifixion and the world-changing reality of the empty tomb. This message focuses on the restoration of the relationship between God and man, moving from the sorrow of the grave to the empowering breath of the Holy Spirit. -- Pastor Omar highlights the deep, personal love Mary Magdalene had for Jesus, reminding us that Christ desires an individual, "one-way line" relationship with every believer. -- The disciples were hiding in fear, yet Jesus appeared in their midst—not to rebuke them for their abandonment, but to offer peace and show His wounds as proof of His victory. -- Just as God breathed life into Adam in Genesis, Jesus breathes the Holy Ghost onto His disciples, effectively "putting us back in the garden" and restoring what was lost through sin. -- Through the story of "Doubting Thomas," we see that God’s love is patient enough to meet us in our skepticism and lead us back to faith.
