 Jesus had been crucified and put to death. They heard the blows of the hammers. They saw the spikes go into his hands and feet. And they saw the blood and water spill from his side. They watched as his traumatized, beaten body was taken down from the cross. And they knew that he would never live again, much less walk and talk with them. But sure enough, there was Jesus, alive. And he appeared to them not just once or twice. No, he showed up everywhere.
