It was the first time that most of Jesus’ apostles had been back together since the night of His arrest. Others had also more than likely joined them, including His mother Mary, His brothers, Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus and others who had traveled with Him. Then suddenly Jesus appeared in their midst.

This Sunday we will celebrate the fact that Jesus rose from the grave. Sin and death were conquered. The victory that the religious leaders and Satan thought they had achieved on Friday was overturned once and for all. Jesus revealed that He had been the One who was victorious on the cross, and the empty tomb was His proof, just as He had told His disciples. And yet, somehow, they had forgotten. Somehow, they were not looking for Him to arise from the dead. Somehow His return had been unexpected. If it was true of those who walked with Him physically for three years, what can the rest of us learn from them?
