John 20
Four person, Mary, Peter, John and Andrew.

Mary was the first one to visit the Lord's tomb, but did not go in to take a look.
Peter heard about the Lord's resurrection, ran the first to the tomb.
John outran Peter, but did not enter the tomb.
Peter was the one who entered the tomb first.
John entered, saw the cloth and believe.
Jesus appeared to Mary first and she believe.
Jesus later appear to Peter and the rest and they believe.
Andrew did not go to the tomb, missed out on Jesus appearance, but unless he see the Lord scar and unless he touched them, he would not believe.

How about you? Mary, Peter, John or Andrew.
I heard about the Lord, but unless I see Him and touch Him, I will not believe, like Andrew.

These were the people who had walked and had knew Jesus. How about those who has yet to know Him?

It was not the carnal man that knew Jesus but the spirit man. They can see, but not believe, they may see and believe without any need to explain the gospel.

The connecting point is the spirit man. We who believed Jesus and had received the Holy spirit should pray and ask that the Holy spirit minister to the spirit man of those who don;t believe.

The level of believe also permit me to understand the different "type" of personality and each has a different way to acknowledge Jesus. No point being so stress of why they don't believe.

I pray that God will continue to minister through the Holy Spirit and speak to my father about Jesus. In ways I cannot comprehend, speak to his spirit man. Amen.
