There is one person that all four Gospels agree was the first to see the resurrected Jesus and share the Good News with others. Her name was Mary Magdalene.

We (as Christians) are indebted to Paul for his contributions the understanding of what it means to be a Christian. But Paul wasn't always a follower of Christ. It wasn't until he saw the resurrected Jesus did he join "the Way" and share the Good News.

People may struggle with the legitimacy of the resurrection of Jesus, but one thing is for sure... the disciples were convinced of it and it changed them forever.

2 disciples are on their way home after Jesus died. But as they are on their way, they have an encounter with the resurrected Christ that changes not only their direction, but fills them with hope.

The resurrection is a wonderful thing, but it is a little hard to comprehend... especially if you were one of those who were around before Jesus died and was resurrected. Even the disciples had a hard time seeing beyond the death of Christ. But there is one guy who seemed to see what was going on.

Matthew wouldn't have been a disciple unless Jesus was a friend of sinners. What does that look like today? How are we supposed to be a friend of sinners?

Have you ever been told not to settle? Honestly, I think that is pretty good advice, but it is deeper than I really understood.

Jesus tells the church in Smyrna to "be faithful unto death", which sounds a lot like a line from many marriage vows... "until death do us part". Faithfulness is important not only in our marriages, but also in the kingdom, but it is not always easy.

What should someone do if their marriage becomes stale? Well, Jesus gives some advice that not only applies to marriage, but also applies to all Christians.

As followers of Christ, we are not called to just "follow the way" but to also "be the way" so that others can see "the way" in us. We are called to be just like Jesus.
