Episode 148: We Have Seen His Glory: The Resurrection Through John's Eyes

The resurrection stands as the pinnacle moment of human history—the ultimate demonstration that darkness can never extinguish light. In this deeply reflective episode, we journey through John's eyewitness account of that first Easter morning, uncovering details that authenticate and illuminate this world-changing event.
We begin where John begins—establishing Jesus as the eternal Word who "became human and made his home among us." This cosmic context sets the stage for understanding why the empty tomb matters so profoundly. As we follow Mary Magdalene's grief-stricken discovery, Peter and John's breathless race to verify her claim, and the fascinating evidence of burial linens left behind, we're confronted with powerful evidence of resurrection rather than grave robbery.
The most moving moment comes when Mary, blinded by tears, fails to recognize Jesus until he speaks her name. This personal encounter reveals how Jesus breaks through our grief and confusion to make himself known. His choice of Mary—a woman with a troubled past—as the first witness and proclaimer of resurrection powerfully demonstrates kingdom values that elevate the marginalized. Most striking is Jesus' new way of referring to his disciples as "brothers," signaling a fundamental shift in relationship made possible through his sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection.
Whether you're a longtime believer or exploring faith for the first time, this exploration of resurrection will help you grasp how Jesus transforms our identity from followers to family members. Join us as we discover what it truly means to be called children of God through the resurrection power that conquered death and offers new life to all who believe.
