The physical resurrection of Jesus changed everything, and it continues to empower Christians today. The apostle John tells about the resurrection of Jesus and everything that happens afterward, and his point is not just to relate details and facts – John wants to convince you to believe. Jesus assured His followers that He would equip them to fulfill what He was commissioning them to do. As they preached and taught everything that He had commanded them, they could honestly tell people who believed that message that their sins were forgiven. And they could honestly tell people that did not believe that message that their sins were not forgiven and that they stand condemned in God’s eyes. It's easy to doubt, but Jesus makes clear in His conversation with Thomas that He doesn't want him to. - Does the truth of Jesus conquer your unbelief? What was John’s point in including the stories and meanings of Jesus’ miracles and signs? “These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” The point isn't the miracles - the point is Jesus.
