[空坟带来盼望]

1.黑暗中仍有盼望（v1-2）
马利亚天还黑就去坟墓，象征黑暗中的寻找。这里带出，信心不是等看见希望才行动，而是在哀伤中仍走向主。
2.应许成真非偶然（v3-7）
裹尸布整齐放着，带出坟墓非盗尸现场，而是复活的证据。神的每一个应许，祂都信实成就。
3.空坟引发真信心（v8-10）
门徒当时‘看见就信了’，虽他们未完全明白教义。因此，信心是对主已复活的回应，即便问题未解也信靠。
小结：神的信实不在于我们‘看得见’，而在于祂‘已成就’。而且，空坟代表神话语的可靠。
1.主在哭泣中靠近（v11-14）
马利亚以为盼望已逝，然而却不知道耶稣却在她身后站着。主不是等我们振作才靠近，而是主动靠近哀伤的人。
2.主用名字唤回心（v15-16）
耶稣说：“马利亚！”——唤醒她的属灵感知。我们看见属灵生命的转折点，是从听见名字，到认出主。
3.被主差遣作见证（v17-18）
马利亚从哭泣者成为‘复活的第一位见证人’。主很多时候使用软弱、卑微的人，来为祂作大事。
小结：复活不只是头脑认知，而是心灵转变与身份更新。主今天也呼唤我们的名字，并差遣我们。
1.主的同在带来平安（v19）
当时门徒在恐惧中把门紧闭，然而主却站在中间。耶稣让我们知道，平安不是从环境而来，而是从主的临在而来。
2.复活确据带来喜乐（v20）
当门徒看见主的时候，他们被喜乐充满。这里提醒我们，喜乐的根基不在成功，而在亲眼‘遇见复活主’。
3.复活带来圣灵能力（v21-23）
主吹气赐下圣灵，如同创世时的新创造。门徒也从软弱者变为受差遣者，承接复活主的使命。
小结：让复活的耶稣进入我们心门，不只是得平安，更得力量与使命。
1. 主接纳真实疑惑（v.24–26）
多马的质疑并非不属灵，而是渴望真实经历的信徒。因此，耶稣并没有责备他，反而等了一周专门向他显现。主说：“不要疑惑，总要信。”——祂不拒绝诚实的寻求者，而是温柔地引导他们进入信心。
2. 钉痕是爱的记号（v.27）
耶稣复活的身体仍带着钉痕——这是爱的见证，不是失败的痕迹。祂邀请多马来摸，是在说：“我为你受伤，我愿你相信。”神不会掩盖祂为人所付出的代价，反而用这些伤痕唤醒我们的信心。
3. 信心回应复活主（v.28–29）
多马从疑惑者成为信仰的宣告者：“我的主，我的神！”这是从头脑知识迈入心灵归属的时刻。耶稣称赞那些‘没有看见就信’的人。
最后两节经文是对整章、甚至整卷福音书的总结：复活不是故事的结尾，而是福音使命的起点。我们蒙召，不只是相信主已复活，更是活出主复活的见证。
复活不是“节日”，是“转变”。不是只停在“空坟”，而是走进“新生命”。
John 20
The Empty Tomb Brings Hope
14/05/2025
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Stella
1.Hope in the Darkness (v.1–2)
Mary went to the tomb while it was still dark—symbolizing a search in darkness. This shows that faith doesn’t wait to see hope before acting; it moves toward the Lord even in sorrow.
2.Fulfilled Promises Are No Coincidence (v.3–7)
The neatly folded grave clothes suggest that this was not a scene of theft, but a sign of resurrection. Every promise of God is faithfully fulfilled.
3.The Empty Tomb Awakens True Faith (v.8–10)
The disciple "saw and believed," even though they didn’t fully understand the doctrine yet. Faith is a response to the risen Lord—even when questions remain.
Summary: God’s faithfulness doesn’t depend on what we can “see,” but on what He has already accomplished. The empty tomb affirms the reliability of God’s Word.
1.The Lord Draws Near in Our Tears (v.11–14)
Mary thought hope was gone, not realizing Jesus was standing behind her. The Lord doesn’t wait for us to pull ourselves together—He draws near to the brokenhearted.
2.The Lord Calls Us by Name (v.15–16)
Jesus said, “Mary!”—awakening her spiritual perception. The turning point in spiritual life comes when we hear our name and recognize the Lord.
3.Sent to Be His Witness (v.17–18)
Mary moved from weeping to becoming the first witness of the resurrection. God often chooses the weak and lowly to accomplish great things for Him.
Summary: Resurrection is not just intellectual knowledge—it transforms hearts and renews identity. The Lord calls our name and sends us today, too.
1.His Presence Brings Peace (v.19)
The disciples locked the doors in fear, yet Jesus stood among them. Peace doesn’t come from circumstances, but from the presence of the Lord.
2.Joy Comes from Resurrection Assurance (v.20)
The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. This teaches us that true joy comes not from success, but from encountering the risen Christ.
3.The Resurrection Imparts the Power of the Spirit (v.21–23)
Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit on them—a picture of new creation. The fearful became the sent ones, bearing the mission of the risen Lord.
Summary: When the risen Jesus enters our hearts, He gives not only peace—but also strength and purpose.
1.The Lord Accepts Honest Doubts (v.24–26)
Thomas wasn’t being unspiritual—he longed for a real encounter. Jesus didn’t rebuke him, but gently revealed Himself, saying: “Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” He welcomes sincere seekers.
2.The Wounds Are Marks of Love (v.27)
Jesus’ resurrected body still bore the scars—testimonies of love, not failure. By inviting Thomas to touch them, He says: “I was wounded for you; I want you to believe.” God doesn’t hide the cost—He uses it to awaken our faith.
3.Faith Responds to the Risen Lord (v.28–29)
Thomas moved from doubter to declaring: “My Lord and my God!” This marked a shift from head knowledge to heart allegiance. Jesus blessed those who believe without seeing.
The final two verses summarize the chapter—and the entire Gospel:
The resurrection is not the end of the story but the start of the Gospel mission. We are called not just to believe in the risen Lord, but to live out that resurrection reality.
The resurrection is not just a “holiday,” but a transformation. We don’t just stop at the empty tomb—we step into new life.
