Today Ronnie Stevens made an interesting observation (click here to listen to the whole thing) from John 20:9 that really struck me.
I put a lot of weight in the belief that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was a historical event. Yet John, when he wrote his account of that time, referred to Scripture as the basis of his belief, not his experience of it or his later reunion with Jesus!
He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) – John 20:8,9
I take encouragement in this, given my distance in history from then – but my proximity to Scripture!
