Today’s podcast is from the Gospel of John 20: 1-9. This gospel focuses on one of the earliest accounts of the resurrection of Jesus. The story starts with Mary of Magdala going to the tomb and finding it empty.
I wonder what it was like for the followers of Jesus during and after the crucifixion. They were devastated! Likely, some of the disciples could be diagnosed with Acute Stress Disorder.
We don’t have any indication of what symptoms they were experiencing but likely they were in shock at what they had witnessed. Their dreams, hopes and expectations gone. Likely some were questioning their faith; others may have felt tricked or just did not know what to make of the last two days. Their way of life was ripped away.
Peter goes into the tomb and noticing the manner that the burial clothes are laid immediately senses this is not a grave robbery. Peter and John started to believe even though as Scripture has it they did not yet understand.
