John C. Harvey, commander of U.S. Fleet Forces, said he was &#8220;quite surprised, to be honest&#8221;, that no one had died, calling it an &#8220;amazing miracle.&#8221;\u00a0 Gov.

ghost would be a little easier to believe, but after touching and seeing his wounds and sharing a meal with him, the disciples are convinced that Jesus has risen from the dead.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a miracle!\u00a0 Christ&#8217;s presence moves them from fear to acceptance, from confusion to clarity.<\/p>\n<p>Miracles, by definition, are occurrences that defy a rational explanation, but for the disciples, the miracle of the Resurrection offered clarity and brought understanding.\u00a0 Jesus&#8217; resurrection makes it clear that God&#8217;s power is greater than the power of death.\u00a0 Jesus&#8217; resurrection makes it clear that God, through Jesus, is on a mission to love, bless and forgive the whole world.\u00a0 Jesus&#8217; resurrection makes it clear that as &#8220;witnesses of these things&#8221;(Lk 24:48), the disciples are called to go and share this miraculous good news with the world.<\/p>\n<p>In this Easter season, we, like the disciples, hear the amazing, miraculous news of the Resurrection. \u00a0Like them, we may have moments of doubt and uncertainty.\u00a0 This truly is an amazing story and although you and I may not be able to touch Jesus&#8217; wounds or watch him eat a piece of fish in person, we can still encounter the risen Jesus today.\u00a0 We encounter Jesus through the story of what God has done and is doing for God&#8217;s people.\u00a0 We encounter Jesus as we experience God&#8217;s presence through the bread and wine of communion and as we are surrounded by the community of God&#8217;s people.\u00a0 We encounter Jesus as we hear God&#8217;s Word through the story of the scriptures.\u00a0 As we, like the disciples, encounter Jesus we can believe the miracle of the tomb empty, receive forgiveness of sin, and rejoice in the hope that thanks to the resurrection we have the promise of eternal life with God.<\/p>\n<h3>Discussion Questions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0How do you think you would have reacted if you had been in the room with the disciples?<\/li>\n<li>What is the first question you would have asked Jesus?\u00a0 How do you think he would have responded?<\/li>\n<li>How can you be a witness to the resurrection in the world today?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Activity Suggestions<\/h3>\n<p>Jesus calls us to be witnesses to the good news of the resurrection.\u00a0 Try one of the following activities this week or develop one that fits your particular community.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create favorite scripture passage posters and place them around the church.<\/li>\n<li>Look in the &#8220;Contact&#8221;
