“I Have Seen the Lord”
John 20:11-18
Resurrection is not a one-day event. It is a living reality that keeps unfolding — in grief, in doubt, in locked rooms, in gardens at dawn, in the moment someone calls your name and everything changes.
We are still in Eastertide. And the risen Christ is still making himself known. In John 20, he appears first to Mary Magdalene — weeping, alone, not yet recognizing him — and then to the disciples huddled behind locked doors, and then to Thomas, who needed to see before he could believe. Three encounters. Three different kinds of doubt. Three different ways resurrection breaks through.
Join us at Shiloh Baptist this Sunday as guest preacher Darrell Hamilton asks what it means to truly see the Lord — not just with our eyes, but with faith shaped through grief, community, and encounter. Easter is not over. We are still in it.
