​Compilations of lessons from John 20
Verse 1-2: EARLY on the first day of the week...

This shows the level of commitment of Mary Magdalene and we must emulate this. Yoruba will say "owuro lojo" meaning "morning is precious". So we must seek God early in our lives.

* After she learnt this, she told the disciples about the lose of Jesus body. A common adage will say "problem shared is half solved". Am More so, we must be mindful of those we will share our burden with. She went to the disciples, who have been with Christ.

Verse 3-9: 

We know Mr. Simon Peter to be a very zealous man. He came late to the tomb yet was the first to enter. There are some Biblical reference that make me believe he is zealous. Situations like Matthew 14:22-33, when he out of all the disciples request from Jesus to walk on water. 

We mustn't be like them in the way we pursue knowledge.
Verse 10-18

This one reiterate Mary's commitment and outstanding love for Christ and that make her to be the first follower of Christ to see Jesus after His death.
Verse 21-23

When He send them, he gave them what they need, the Bible said "He breathed on them and said "receive the holy spirit".

1 Thessalonians 5:24 encouraged that "The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it." He sent you yet he is will give you what you need to be successful. Rely solely on him and he will carry you through the work he committed to your hands.

Verse 29

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”. The blessings is for us because we don't physically witness the resurrection. We walk by faith and not by sight. And you know what we are blessed for walking by faith and believing Christ was raised from dead.
