As we continue in John 20, let’s remember: the resurrection is not a side note to the Christian faith—it is its foundation.

John 20: 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not hold Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’”

18 Mary Magdalene came, reporting to the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had said these things to her.
