To Mary Magdalen, The two disciples and then the twelves.<br \/>\nJesus reveals his resurrecting power to those whom appreciation level is high like with Mary Magdalen. Mary at one time had 7 demons and Jesus took them out of her. It was a great miracle; a transforming miracle. Mary was known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenazareneway.com\/life_of_st_mary_magdalene.htm\">The Sinner<\/a>, because of her lavish life style, since she and her siblings inherited great riches from her father; she became well known throughout; The biggest sinner. She was possessed with the 7 deadly sins we all face. God always is in search of the week and lost (Ez.34:16).<\/p>\n<p>AOC video<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rxEIskiNs4A?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>The two disciples who were walking to their home. Both walked with the feeling despair, because it was the third day and Jesus had not came back as he said he would. God&#8217;s second manifestation of his resurrection power is those who are in despair. The feeling of despair is that of feeling of hopelessness. Job got to that point of hopelessness after waiting on God to take him out of the desparation he was in became desparate (Job 6:11). God will never forget those who trust in him and wait on him (ps.91:8).<\/p>\n<p>The last manisfestation of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ is seen in his disciples. After they found themselves in a room with a beginning wave of testimonies headed their way continuing to dought, the master himself manifested among them. The eleven found themselves faithless; they had lost their faith within themselves and in others. Jesus is out to find those who refuse or chose not to believe. For instance, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bethinking.org\/is-christianity-true\/from-atheism-to-christianity-a-personal-journey\">Philip Vander Elst <\/a>describes his journey from atheism to Christianity via the apologetics works of C.S. Lewis. (Is. 65:1). Those who are not really interested in God find God (Ro. 10:20).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easter Sunday is the most powerful celebration Christians around the world participate in.
