Witnesses Who Testified - Luke 24; John 20-21

by Diana Durrill
"Thus is is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.  You are witnesses of these things." - Luke 24:46-48
The disciples and friends were eye-witness to fulfilled prophecy.  Jesus Christ had just suffered and died at Golgotha, was buried, and then rose again.  He appeared before them now in a scarred body, urging them to go and proclaim the good news of the gospel to all nations.  They touched His hands and His side, broke bread with Him, basked in His glory and splendor, then dispersed to live out the greatest assignment one can ever be given:  the Great Commission.
