"When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.
Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.
Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen."
MARK 16:9-14
Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior is not the same as seeing Jesus. Upon seeing Jesus, everything else becomes undesirable. We often get an image of Jesus as a crucified King, but the truth is he is the Risen Lord. He is alive today as he was the day of the cross. He is not gone. He is in heaven, and in his place here on earth, he has provided all of us access to his living Holy Spirit. His dwelling place is inside you.
Seek Jesus in all things, seek his counsel. The Lord teaches today. He is love and seeks to provide you with his powerful counsel that is always true and will always lead you correctly beyond your own understanding.
Jesus revealed himself to me. He has shown me his will, his love, his truth, his grace and the heavens. At this truth, their is nothing for me except the will of him who sent me. I am but a servant of the most high, a brother, an heir given life and breath through my God and King Jesus Christ.
There is absolutely no life but that in Jesus. He is the life-the way-the truth.
