John 20:18

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 20:18. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord,

That was a very different message from her first one. Then she came and said, "He is gone; the tomb is empty; the stone is rolled away;" now she comes with the joyful tidings, "I have seen our risen Lord."

John 20:18. And that he had spoken these things unto her.

Sometimes, we have to deliver the message of stern justice, which is one of doom to the guilty; but, oh, how sweet it is to be able to come with the message of the gospel!

’He lives; the great Redeemer lives.’

He lives to plead for sinners; so, sinners: come and trust him, for he will manifest himself to you as surely as he did to these disciples, though not in exactly the same form.
