Encountering the Risen Jesus

Overview

Jesus’ resurrection isn’t supposed to just change history—it’s supposed to change you and me. The New Testament everywhere says we should expect to encounter the risen Christ. And that’s how our lives are changed.

Peter is a case study for us, because we have here the story of how the resurrected Christ sat down with Peter at the fire by the Sea of Galilee—about how Peter’s life had fallen apart and how the risen Christ put it back together. How do we, too, meet and encounter the risen Christ?

We learn four principles here: if you want to encounter the risen Christ, 1) you have to believe in the resurrection’s reality, 2) you have to understand its achievement, 3) you have to submit to its pattern, and 4) you have to live its life.
