Conclusive Evidence of Christ’s Resurrection (John 20:19–29)

January 10, 2024

In John 20:19-29, the King James Bible presents several pieces of evidence that can be interpreted as supporting the claim of Jesus’ resurrection:

1. Empty Tomb: The first verse establishes the foundation for the claims, stating that Mary Magdalene finds the tomb empty on the first day of the week. This directly contradicts the expectations set by the Roman guards and Jewish leaders who secured the tomb, making it unlikely that the body was simply stolen.

2. Appearances to Mary Magdalene: Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene in the garden near the tomb (v. 14). While initially mistaken for the gardener, she recognizes him upon hearing his voice. This personal encounter suggests a real physical presence.

3. Appearances to the Disciples: Later that same day, Jesus appears to his disciples who are gathered behind locked doors (v. 19). He greets them with “Peace be unto you,” demonstrating familiarity and a sense of calm amidst their fear and grief. This act also signifies his ability to transcend physical limitations.

4. Showing his hands and side: To further reassure the disciples, Jesus shows them his hands and side, bearing the wounds from his crucifixion (v. 20). This visual confirmation offers tangible evidence of his identity and the reality of his physical resurrection.

5. Offering the Holy Spirit: Jesus breathes on the disciples and says, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost” (v. 22). This act represents the bestowal of the Holy Spirit, a promise made before his death, and signifies a new era of empowerment for his followers.

6. The response of the Disciples: Upon these appearances and demonstrations, the disciples rejoice and their fear is replaced by belief (v. 20). This immediate change in their emotional state suggests a powerful and convincing encounter with their resurrected Lord.

7. Thomas’ encounter: Though absent initially, Thomas later encounters Jesus and demands to see the wounds for himself (v. 25). Jesus grants his request, further emphasizing the physical reality of his resurrection. Thomas’ subsequent declaration of faith (“My Lord and my God!”) highlights the transformative impact of witnessing firsthand the evidence.

8. Jesus’ concluding statement: Jesus leaves the disciples with a message of peace and forgiveness, echoing themes from his previous teachings (v. 26-29). This continuity strengthens the connection between the resurrected Jesus and the one they followed before his death.

It’s important to note that interpretations of these events may vary, and not everyone considers them conclusive evidence of Christ’s resurrection. However, the passage undeniably presents several elements that, in the context of the larger biblical narrative, can be seen as significant support for the claim of Jesus’ victory over death and his ongoing presence among his followers.

Who Owned The Tomb Jesus Christ Was Buried, Died In

The King James Bible doesn’t explicitly state who owned the tomb where Jesus Christ was buried. However, it provides clues that suggest possible ownership:

1. Joseph of Arimathea: In John 19:38, it mentions that Joseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple of Jesus, went to Pilate and requested the body of Jesus. He then took the body and laid it in his own new tomb, hewn out of the rock. This implies that the tomb belonged to Joseph of Arimathea.

2. Matthew 27:60: This verse describes Joseph of Arimathea rolling a great stone to the door of the sepulchre (tomb) “wherein he had laid Jesus.” Again, this reinforces the connection between Joseph and the tomb.

3. Luke 23:55: It mentions that women who followed Jesus observed where his body was laid and then returned home to prepare spices and ointments. While it doesn’t explicitly state ownership, it suggests the women knew who owned the tomb, presumably being informed by Joseph or others after Jesus’ death.

4. Mark 15:46: Briefly mentions that Joseph bought fine linen and took down Jesus’ body, wrapping it in the linen and laying it in a tomb carved out of the rock. While not definitive, it further strengthens the notion that the tomb belonged to Joseph.

Therefore, based on these hints in the King James Bible, the most likely owner of the tomb where Jesus was buried appears to be Joseph of Arimathea. However, it’s important to note that the Bible doesn’t offer absolute certainty on this matter, and other interpretations or viewpoints are possible.

Who Was Joseph Of Arimathea, Was He Related To Mary, Jesus Christ?

While the King James Bible doesn’t explicitly state a familial relationship between Joseph of Arimathea and Mary or Jesus, some historical texts and apocryphal traditions suggest possible connections:

Possible links to Mary:

Geographical: Both Joseph and Mary came from Arimathea, a town in Judea. This shared origin could imply family ties, though not necessarily close ones.
Tradition: Some early Christian writings, like the “Protevangelion of James,” portray Joseph of Arimathea as Mary’s paternal uncle. However, these texts are considered apocryphal and not part of the Bible’s canon.
Speculation: Based on cultural norms of the time, some scholars speculate that Joseph could have been a distant relative of Mary’s family, even without explicit mention in the Bible.

Possible links to Jesus:

Disciple and supporter: The Bible clearly identifies Joseph of Arimathea as a secret disciple of Jesus who risked his reputation to request and bury his body. This close association implies respect and admiration, but not necessarily a blood relationship.
Apocryphal texts: Again, some non-canonical sources like the “Gospel of Nicodemus” portray Joseph as Jesus’ uncle or even godfather. However, these texts lack historical and theological authority.

In conclusion:

The Bible itself doesn’t establish a definitive family connection between Joseph of Arimathea and Mary or Jesus.
Some historical and apocryphal sources suggest possible links, but their reliability and credibility vary.
Ultimately, the nature of their relationship remains an open question, left to speculation and interpretations based on available information.

Remember, when considering non-canonical or apocryphal texts, it’s crucial to be aware of their historical context and limited acceptance within mainstream Christian theology. The Bible remains the central source for reliable information about Jesus and his disciples.

Did Joseph Of Arimathea Own The Mendip mines in Glastonbury, England? How Rich Was Joseph?

There’s no direct historical evidence connecting Joseph of Arimathea from the Bible to the Mendip mines in Glastonbury, England, or to any specific level of wealth. Here’s a breakdown of the claims and available information:

Connecting Joseph of Arimathea to the Mendip Mines:

Glastonbury legend: A local legend in Glastonbury suggests that Joseph of Arimathea arrived in Britain after Jesus’ crucifixion, bringing Christianity and planting his staff on Weary Hill, which grew into the iconic Glastonbury Thorn. This legend isn’t supported by historical evidence and likely arose centuries later in the Middle Ages.
Lack of historical connections: No reputable historical sources, including early Christian writings or archaeological evidence, link Joseph of Arimathea to England or the Mendip mines. These claims fall into the realm of folklore and speculation.

Assessing Joseph of Arimathea’s wealth:

Biblical hints: The Bible describes Joseph of Arimathea as a “wealthy man of Arimathea” and a member of the Sanhedrin, suggesting he possessed significant social and economic standing.
Tomb ownership: Burying Jesus in his own new tomb suggests he had enough wealth to own a luxurious burial site.
Uncertain extent of wealth: While the Bible indicates Joseph’s wealth, it doesn’t provide specifics about its source or extent. He could have been a landowner, merchant, or held another position of financial privilege.

Conclusion:

No evidence: Currently, no reliable historical or archaeological evidence links Joseph of Arimathea to the Mendip mines or specific wealth levels.
Glastonbury legend: The Glastonbury connection with Joseph and the mines stems from local folklore and lacks historical backing.
Biblical hints: The Bible suggests Joseph’s wealth but doesn’t provide details about its source or extent.

It’s important to stay skeptical when encountering claims about historical figures not supported by solid evidence. While legends and folklore can be interesting, they should be distinguished from verifiable historical facts.

This is a major important point about forgiveness

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. -MATTHEW 5:24 KJV

Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?

I would start out by saying what Jesus Christ would want us to do? Pray and how should we pray? The Lord’s Prayer, and how often should we pray? Continually. Why do we use the Lord’s Prayer and not some other? The Lord’s Prayer covers all the areas that is important for our spiritual being.

When we pray the Lords prayer we ask to forgive our enemies, let God’s will be done, the kingdom to come. By praying the Lord’s prayer we let go of many thoughts we have in our head and give them back to God so we can have things revealed to us.

We must overcome resentment in our heart, and in a past video I shared about Dr. Jordan Peterson talks about how resentment can destroy us and we become our own very worst enemy and Jordan goes on to say that we must talk to people what we have resentment toward to overcome that resentment. Other people who lived in the past who talked about this is Jesus Christ and someone who is living now who talks about this daily is Brother Augustine, Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. Charles Stanley, Rev. John Piper and Pastor Paul Washer.

Women are looking for a fathers love

Women are looking for a fathers love. Its important that men understand women are looking for a fathers love and not get screwed. Woman more than anything are looking for a strong spiritual man to lead the future (the family). I think in many YouTube videos on biblical teachings, how young women are being hurt by men that are just looking to get laid instead of doing right and being in christ and setting a good example of a strong man. We must be in Christ, hate no one, love all, forgave thoses we resent, love what is right and support people who are walking with God.

Women need their fathers in their lives to be strong man to be good examples and not BETA men or weak examples of what a man should be. Its important that a man leads the way as Christ leads men, we as man need to fellow Jesus Christ to keep society from going to HELL.

Every day you can see or people watch how some men and women our living in hell without the right spiritual order then you will continue your hellish way according to 2 Peter. You can also find it in Romans. God will give you over to a reprobate mind.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. – Romans 1:28 (KJV)

In Romans 1, Paul refers to something known as a reprobate mind. If you’re not familiar with the term reprobate, the literal definition in the Greek is failing to pass the test, unapproved, counterfeit.

How God Commands Us To Forgive Those Who We Have Resentment Toward.

All of us are tested everyday by our personal internal struggle coming from resentment of what happened earlier in our lives as children typically what our mother did to us, telling how our fathers were not good enough or driving us away from our fathers when we were children. We most go to the people that we have resentment against and forgive them. By forgiving our mothers or whoever we have resentment against, God will forgive us and we can return to the heavenly Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

It was said if you don’t love everyone then you love no one. People today live like the Old Testament people did. We must forgive and love everyone as God Commanded us to do according to Matthew 22:34-40.

In a world where it is so easy to forget the importance of God, we must remember that He is holy and will not share His glory. America has forgotten this truth and it is time for us to re-examine our relationship with God and recognize that He is the one true God who deserves our full devotion and reverence. We must remember that He will not be taken lightly or ignored, but rather should be honored as the Creator of all things. Only then can we truly experience His love and grace in our lives.
