who is the exquisite love of God. His TRUTH is my best friend and His JOY my comfort.

So, they cast and now they were not able to draw it in
because of the multitude of #fish to bring aboard.
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter,
“It is the Lord!”
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any #food?”
They answered Him, “No.”
And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat,
and you will find some below.”
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

They went out and immediately got into the boat,
and that night they caught nothing.
But when the #morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore;
yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus, standing.
(Gospel of John)

THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE

And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His
disciples, which are not written in this book, to proclaim.
But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of God and that believing you may have #life in His name.

And Thomas answered and said to Him “My Lord and my #God!”
Jesus said to him, pleased.
“Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed.
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

Then He said to Thomas,
“Reach your finger here, and #look at My hands, perceiving.
And reach your hand here, and put it into My side.
Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

And after #eight days His disciples were again inside,
and Thomas with them, too.
Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst,
and said, “Peace to you!”
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

So he said to them,
“Unless I #see in His hands the print of the nails, to perceive.
And put my finger into the print of the nails,
and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
(Gospel of John)

SEEING AND BELIEVING

Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve,
was not with them when Jesus came.
The other disciples therefore said to him,
“We have seen the #Lord again.”
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

And when He had said this, He breathed on them,
and said to them, preordained.
“Receive the Holy #Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are
forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
So Jesus said to them again, “#Peace to you!
As the Father has sent Me,
I also send you.”
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

And said to them,
“Peace be with you.”
When He had said this, He showed
them His hands and His #side, too.

THE APOSTLES COMMISSIONED

Then, the same day at evening,
being the #first day of the week.
When the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled,
for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, to speak.
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

And to #My God and your God.’ ”
Mary Magdalene came.
And told the disciples that she had seen the Lord
and that He had spoken these things to her to proclaim.
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

Jesus said to her,
“Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father.
But #go to My brethren and say to them,
‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father.
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

"Mary!"
Jesus said to her.
#She turned and said to Him,
“Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him,
“Sir, if You have carried Him away.
Tell me #where You have laid Him,
and I will take Him away.”
(Gospel of John)

[Anesta McDonald @godsqueens]

Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus speaking.
Jesus said to her,
“Woman, why are #you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”
(Gospel of John)
