Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:5-8; John 20:24-29; Acts 9:1-6

Devotional: The resurrection is not wishful thinking but a historical fact. Jesus appeared to Peter the denier, James the skeptic, five hundred witnesses at once, and Paul the persecutor. Notice whom Christ chose to reveal Himself to—not just the strong and faithful, but the broken, doubting, and undeserving. This is the heart of our Savior. He restores deniers into preachers, transforms skeptics into leaders, and converts enemies into apostles. The same resurrection power that changed Peter, James, and Paul is still changing lives today. Perhaps you feel disqualified by past failures, persistent doubts, or previous opposition to God. The risen Christ specializes in redeeming the unlikely. He meets you in your brokenness, confronts your doubts with evidence, and transforms your life with grace. Have you encountered the risen Lord personally?
