After chatting for a while about what's been going on in our lives since we last met, we read John 20 out loud and discussed some of Tony's questions. Here are some of the themes we talked about:
-Jesus first revealed himself after the Resurrection to Mary Magdalene. She wasn't a person of importance and this inspiring fact proves to us that Jesus loves to show himself to nobodies and sinners.
-God reaches out to the lowly, unimportant and common people on this planet.
-The most depraved and unlovable ones are people that God can reach and turn around for his glory. They are worth praying for and not too hard for God to change.
-John called himself "the one whom Jesus loved." May we all carry that around in our hearts.
-Lord, help us to care as you do and reach out to the ones you are reaching toward.
-God uses even little children to speak to us and remind us of his truth and his love. God is amazing!
-God gives us "reality checks" of his presence among us sometimes just like he did with the disciples after the Resurrection. He calls us to pray and expect him to move and be faithful to his promises.
