Brief Encounters & Conversations After the Resurrection

“This is what we proclaim concerning the Word of life… the life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it.” — 1 John 1:1–2

In the quiet moments after the resurrection, Jesus meets His followers in deeply personal ways. In John 20:11–18, He speaks the name of Mary in her grief, turning sorrow into recognition and joy. In John 21:15–19, He restores Peter through gentle yet searching conversation, rebuilding what was broken and calling him back into love and purpose.

These brief encounters remind us that the risen Christ still meets us personally—bringing comfort, restoration, and renewed calling.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” — 1 Peter 1:3

Even in times of uncertainty, God’s promise gives us joy and strength. Let this living hope guide your heart and renew your faith today.

Worship with us online or in person as we explore the hope we have in Jesus, our living hope.
