Chapter 13—Post-Resurrection Appearances (13 illustrations)

The Resurrection did not mark the end of Christ's earthly ministry. During the forty days that followed, He appeared repeatedly to His disciples, teaching, comforting, correcting, and preparing them to carry His gospel to the world. These sacred encounters provide powerful witnesses that Jesus Christ truly lives and continues to guide His Church through chosen witnesses.
