John's purpose in recording the resurrection of Jesus and His appearances to the different people was to demonstrate that Jesus' physical and bodily resurrection was the crowning proof that He truly is the Messiah and Son of God who laid down His life for His own people, past, present, and future. John believed and he wanted others to believe also.
No. They did not believe in a resurrection, and Jesus is the resurrection and the life, (John 11.25)
The witnesses of Jesus after his resurrection were his disciples, including Peter, James, John, and others who saw him alive after his crucifixion.
The resurrection of Jesus is mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die..."(John 11:25).
In the Gospel of John, the primary struggle in the life of Jesus that is emphasized is his divine mission and the opposition he faced from religious leaders who did not believe in him. John highlights Jesus' conflict with the Jewish authorities, his claim to be the Son of God, and the ultimate sacrifice he made for humanity through his crucifixion and resurrection. The Gospel of John portrays Jesus as the divine Word made flesh, who faced rejection and hostility from those who did not accept his teachings and his identity as the Messiah.
After the meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus at night. Nothing else is mentioned in the bible.Another answer:Nicodemus is mentioned twice more after his clandestine meeting with Jesus (John 7:50 and John 19:39), but scripture doesn't reveal what "became" of him after Jesus' resurrection. He is last seen providing the "myrrh and aloes" with which to treat Jesus' body for burial.
The evidence that John presents for the resurrection of Jesus somewhat contradicts the evidence of the other gospels, but is closest to Luke, the synoptic gospel that John's Gospel most closely resembles.In John's Gospel, the risen Jesus appeared to the disciples in the upper room and showed them his wounds, but Thomas was not present. Eight days later, Jesus again appeared to the disciples, this time with Thomas present, and offered to let Thomas touch his wounds. These appearances, and the later appearance at the Sea of Galilee, are provided as evidence of the resurrection, and the wounds are the evidence that this really was Jesus, in the flesh.
"I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die" John 11: 25
In John 11:25 Jesus says 'I am the resurrection, and the life, he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live'. He is the resurrection, the blessed hope of every Christian.Resurrection demonstrated that God accepted Jesus' sacrifice on our behalf. It guarantees that those who believe in Christ will not remain dead, but will be resurrected unto eternal life. That is our blessed hope
In the Gospel According to John, it is Thomas, one of the twelve apostles, who doubts Jesus' resurrection until he sees Him with his own eyes. This account is found in John 20:24-29, where Thomas expresses his skepticism about Jesus rising from the dead. He famously declares that he will not believe unless he can see and touch the wounds of Christ. When Jesus later appears to him, Thomas responds with faith, proclaiming, "My Lord and my God!"
Luke 24:36-43 and John 21:9-12
The four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) focus on the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus by detailing the events leading up to his crucifixion, the crucifixion itself, and his subsequent resurrection. They highlight Jesus' teachings on the significance of his sacrificial death and resurrection for the redemption of humanity, emphasizing the fulfillment of prophecies and the establishment of a new covenant with God. The narratives underscore the theological importance of Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection as central to Christian faith and salvation.
