Aim: To understand that Jesus' resurrection provides His church with everything we need for this life.
Exegesis: Christ appeared to encourage us. He comes to us in our sorrow (vv. 9-11) and our bewilderment (vv. 12-13). Christ appeared to employ us. The Lord corrects us (v. 14), commissions us (vv. 15-16), and confirms us (vv. 17-18). Christ appeared to empower us, through His session in heaven (v. 19) and His gospel on earth (v. 20).
Key verse: v. 9 ''Now when [Christ] rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.''
