Jesus Transforms Lives Series Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Apr 2, 2010 (message contributor) Summary: This sermon explores three transformations that take place in the lives of people who encounter the resurrected Christ. Scripture I remember a geography lesson I received while in Primary School in South Africa. We learned that the southernmost tip of Cape Town, South Africa is Cape Point, which has experienced treacherous storms over the centuries. For many years no one knew what lay beyond that cape, for no ship attempting to round that point had ever returned to tell the tale. Among the ancient mariners it was known as the Cape of Storms, and for good reason. But then a Portuguese explorer in the fifteenth century named Vasco De Gama successfully sailed around that very point and found beyond the wild raging storms, a great calm sea, and beyond that, the shores of India. The name of that cape was later changed from the Cape of Storms to the Cape of Good Hope. Until Jesus Christ rose from the dead, death had been the cape of storms on which all hopes of life beyond had been wrecked. No one knew what lay beyond that point until, on that first Easter morning, Jesus rose from the dead, giving us new hope for life beyond the grave. Suddenly, like those ancient mariners, people could see beyond human death to the good hope of eternal life in heaven. More than that, we now dare to believe that we can experience in our own human bodies what Jesus experienced in his, for the risen Christ says to us, “Because I live, you also will live” (John 14:19). And because Jesus is alive, he is now in the process of transforming people. He is transforming people whose lives are so often filled with storms to lives filled with good hope. I want you to notice how Jesus started transforming lives on the very first day of his resurrection from the dead. Please pay attention as I read to you from John 20:19-31: 19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” 24 Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” 26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” 30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but 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. Introduction Some of you have seen The Passion of the Christ. Frankly, it is the most powerful movie I have ever seen. The movie portrays in graphic detail the last twelve hours of Jesus Christ. The final scene of the movie is a glimpse of the resurrection of Jesus. Personally, I would love to see Mel Gibson do a sequel to The Passion of the Christ titled The Resurrection of the Christ. I would love to see a movie that has the same powerful, emotional impact as The Passion of the Christ in which we see how the resurrected Jesus transforms lives. I don’t know if Mel Gibson will ever make such a movie. But I do know that the news that Jesus was alive began to spread among his followers, at first with hesitation, and later with enthusiasm. Even his disciples did not believe the first reports, and Thomas demanded proof. But whenever people were confronted with the reality of his resurrection, their lives were transformed.

यूहन्ना अध्याय 20 हप्ताको पहिलो दिन बिहानै मरियम मग्दलिनी येशूको चिहानमा गई। तिनले देखिन कि त्यो ठूलो चट्टान जो चिहानको द्वारमा राखिएको थियो त्यो ढुंगा हाटाइएको थियो। 2 यसैले मरियम शिमोन पत्रुस र अन्य चेलाहरूकहाँ गई (जसलाई येशूले धेरै माया गर्नुहुन्थ्यो।) मरियमले तिनीहरूलाई भनिन, “तिनीहरूले प्रभुको देहलाई चिहानबाट लगेछन्। हामी जान्दैनौ तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई कहाँ राखेका छन्।” 3 यसकारण पत्रुस र अर्को चेला चिहानमा जानलागे। 4 तिनीहरू दुवै दुगरे, तर अर्को चेला पत्रुस भन्दा छिटो दगुरे। यसैले अर्को चेला चिहानमा पहिले पुगे। 5 चेलाले निहुरिएर तलतिर हेरे। तिनीहरूले सूती लुगाको टुक्राहरू मात्र त्यहाँ रहेको देखे, तिनीहरू भित्र झरेनन्। 6 त्यसपछि शिमोन पत्रुस आइपुग्यो। पुत्रस चिहान भित्र गयो। उसले सूती लुगाको टुक्रा मात्र त्यहाँ रहेको देख्यो। 7 उसले येशूको टाउँको बाँधिएको लुगा पनि देख्यो। त्यो लुगा पट्याएर सूतीको कपडाका टुक्रादेखि अलग्गा राखिएको थियो। 8 त्यसपछि अर्को चेला पनि पस्यो। यो मानिस अघि चिहानमा पहिलो पुग्ने चेला थियो। तिनले भित्र पुगेर जे देखे त्यो विश्वास गरे। 9 ती चेलाहरूले अझ बुझेका थिएनन कि धर्मशास्त्रले भनेकोछ कि येशू मृत्युबाट जागी उठ्नै पर्छ। 10 त्यसपछि चेलाहरू आफ्ना घर र्फक। 11 तर मरियम चिहानकै बाहिर उभिएर रोइरही। जब रोई रहेकी थिइन् चिनहान भित्र हेर्नु तिनी निहुरिन्। 12 मरियमले सेतो वस्त्रमा दुई स्वर्गदूतहरू देखी । तिनीहरू जहाँ येशूको टाउँकोपट्टी र अर्को स्वर्गदूत येशूको खुट्टापट्टी बसिरहेका थिए। 13 स्वर्गदूतहरूले मरियमलाई सोधे, “हे! नारी! किन रोईरहेकी छौ?”मरियमले जवाफ दिइन, “कसैले मेरा प्रभुको शरीर लगेर गएछ। तिनीहरूले कहाँ राखेका छन् मलाई थाहा छैन।” 14 मरियमले यति भनिसकेर जब र्फकिन उनले उहाँलाई त्यहाँ उभिरहनु भएको देखिन्। तर तिनले येशू भनेर चिनिनन्। 15 येशूले उनलाई सोध्नुभयो, “नारी, तिमी किन रोइरहेछौ? तिमी कसलाई खोजिरहेछौ?”मरियमले उहाँलाई त्यहाँ बगैंचाको माली सम्झी। तब मरियमले उहाँलाई सोधी, “के तिमीले येशूलाई लग्यौ, महोदय? भन उहाँलाई कहाँ राखेकाछौ। म त्यही जानेछु र उहाँलाई लानेछु।” 16 येशूले उसलाई भन्नुभयो, “हे मरियम।”मरियम येशू तर्फ फर्की र यहूदी भाषामा उसलाई भनी, “रब्बोनी।” (अर्थ “हे गुरुज्यु”) 17 येशूले उसलाई भन्नुभयो, “मलाई नछोऊ। म अझ् सम्म पिताकोमा गई सकेको छुइँन। तर मेरा दाज्यु-भाइहरू भएकोमा जाऊ, र तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनः ‘म मेरो पिता र तिमीहरूका पिताकहाँ फर्की जाँदैछु। म मेरो परमेश्वर र तिमीहरूको परमेश्वरकहाँ फर्की जाँदैछु।”‘ 18 मरियम मग्दलिनी चेलाहरूकहाँ गईन् अनि उनीहरूलाई भनिन, “मैले प्रभुलाई भेटें।” अनि येशूले जे भन्नु भएको थियो ती सब भनिदिइन्। 19 हप्ताको पहिलो दिन थियो। चेलाहरू त्यो बलुकी भेला भएका थिए। यहूदीहरूको डरले दैलोहरू बन्द थियो। तब येशू आउनु भयो र तिनीहरूका सामुने उभिनु भयो। येशूले भन्नुभयो “शान्ति तिमीहरूसँग रहोस्।” 20 येशूले यति भने पछि उहाँले आफ्ना हात र कोखा देखाउनु भयो। तब चेलाहरूले प्रभुलाई देखेर अति खुशी भए। 21 त्यसपछि येशूले फेरि भन्नुभयो, “शान्ति तिमीहरूसंग रहोस्। पिताले मलाई पठानु भयो। त्यस्तै प्रकारले अब म तिमीहरूलाई पठाइरहेछु।” 22 यती भनिसके पछि, येशूले चेलाहरूमाथि श्वास फुकेर भन्नुभयो, “पवित्र आत्मा लेओ।” 23 यदि तिमीहरूले मानिसहरूका पाप क्षमा गरिदियौ भने तिनीहरूका पापहरू क्षमा हुनेछ। यदि त्यसो गरेनौ भने तिनीहरूका पापहरू क्षमा हुनेछैन्।” 24 थोमा जसलाई दिदुमस भनिन्छ, येशू चेलाहरूकहाँ आउनु हुँदा थिएनन्। बाह्रजना मध्ये थोमा एकजना थिए। 25 अरू चेलाहरूले थोमालाई भने, “हामीले प्रभुलाई देख्यौं।” थोमाले भने, “म त्यति बेला सम्म विश्वास र्गदिन जबसम्म काँटीले छेडिएका दागहरू उहाँको हातमा देख्दिन अनि औलाँ त्यो काँटीको दागहरूमा राख्दिन र उहाँको कोखामा मेरो हात राख्दिन।” 26 एक हप्तापछि सबैजना चेलाहरू घरमा जम्मा भएका थिए। थोमा तिनीहरूसंग थिए। दैलो बन्द थियो, तर येशू आउनु भयो र तिनीहरू समक्ष उभिनु भयो। उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “शान्ति तिमीहरूमा रहोस्।” 27 त्यसपछि येशूले थोमालाई भन्नुभयो, “आऊ तिम्रो औंला यहाँ छिराऊ।” मेरा हातहरू हेर, तिम्रो हात मेरा कोखमा पसाऊ। शंका गर्न छोड अनि विश्वास गर्न थाल।” 28 थोमाले येशूलाई भने, “मेरा प्रभु र मेरा परमेश्वर!” 29 येशूले थोमालाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीले मलाई विश्वास गर्यौ किनभने तिमीले मलाई देख्यौ। ती मानिसहरू धन्य हुन् जस-जसले मलाई नदेखिकनै विश्वास गरे।” 30 येशूले धेरै अरू चमत्कारहरू देखाउनु भएको उहाँका चेलाहरूले देखेका थिए। ती चमत्कारहरू यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छैन। 31 तर ती कुराहरू लेखिए ताकि तिमीहरूले विश्वास गर्न सक्छौ कि येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुन्; जो परमेश्वरको पुत्र हुन् भनि जब तिमीहरू उहाँलाई विश्वास गर्छौ, तिमीहरूले उहाँको नाममा जीवन पाउन सक्छौं
