Day 2186– The Gospel of John – 40 – A Miraculous Resurrection – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Day 2186 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Gospel of John – 40 – A Miraculous Resurrection – Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message – 11/20/2022 The Gospel of John – Part 5: Vindication Of The Word – A Miraculous Resurrection   Today, we continue our series on the Good News according to John the Apostle. Last week, we explored in detail the use of crucifixion as a means of capital punishment and John’s use of rich imagery, prophecies, and facts surrounding the crucifixion of the Messiah in a message titled ‘Death on a Cross.’ Our scripture for today is John 19:38-20:10, starting on page 1685 in the pew Bible. As we begin this Thanksgiving week, I can’t think of anything more important to be thankful for than the resurrection. We will study one of the most miraculous events in all of history in a message titled A Miraculous Resurrection  The Burial of Jesus 38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[e] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.   The Empty Tomb 20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” 3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.   We have so much to be thankful for today. Even for every breath that we take. Did you...
