Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:5-7, “(Jesus) appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living…and last of all he appeared to me also…” In the post resurrection church, this fact was easily the biggest centerpiece of their message. If Christ had not come back to life, then everything they were living for would be a lie. But if it were true, the could and would do anything to defend and proclaim it. Enjoy these great, encouraging encounters with the risen, living Jesus!
