Eyewitness, Part 2

Jesus is alive! He has risen from the dead, just as He said He would.

I know, because I have seen Him.

My brothers and I were gathered in a locked room, still in hiding, when Jesus walked right in. For a breath, I thought I had lost my mind, that my grief had broken my grip on reality. Then He said, “Peace be with you,” and the music of His voice vanquished my doubt and fear.

He showed us the wounds on His hands and side. Jesus has returned from the dead not as a spirit, but as a Man with a body! He is alive, more alive than ever.

I am not an educated man, but I don’t think even the scribes have enough words to describe my joy. I am aflame with love and hope.

Alleluia!
