Today: [John 20:] He is Not Here. He is Risen! In John 20 we experience with Mary Magdalene and the disciples the incredulity of Jesus' resurrection. He lays no longer in the grave. Mary thinks He is the gardener when she sees Him. The disciples are cowering in fear, unwilling to believe Mary when she declares the risen Lord. Thomas insists that he will not believe without the most unequivocal evidence. To all of this Jesus makes Himself known to them in unquestioned proof of His resurrection to His Father and now to our Father as well.
