John 20 - We Didn't Know Who He Was

Tom Shrader walks through John 20's eyewitness account of Jesus' resurrection, focusing on Mary Magdalene, Peter, and John's different responses to the empty tomb. He emphasizes that spiritual understanding comes only through God's work - the Holy Spirit must open our eyes to truly see Jesus and our ears to hear His voice, transforming us from spiritual blindness to recognition of who Christ truly is. “Natural man cannot understand spiritual things - it's not that they aren't explained well, they cannot understand spiritual things.” — Tom Shrader Series: Gospel of John Overview (2003) Recorded on Jun 5, 2003 Duration: 43 min Themes: resurrection, faith, blindness, recognition, transformation, understanding, witnessing, hope, doubting faith, seeking understanding, new believer, struggling with unbelief, spiritual seeker, witnessing resurrection, confused believer, young adult Topics: resurrection, holy spirit, spiritual blindness, divine revelation, christology, eyewitness testimony, spiritual understanding, sanctification Scripture: John 20:1-18, Luke 8:1-3, Luke 5:1-11, John 13:21-26, Isaiah 6, 1 Corinthians 2:14, Romans 9, Romans 12, Matthew 28:19-20 — About Priority Living AZ — Priority Living AZ preserves the teaching legacy of Tom Shrader.
