Please find a video exposition of the Sunday school lesson for April 26, 2020 by clicking here. I’ve entitled this lesson, “You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow” (Isaiah 62:2). The chosen passage comes from Isaiah 61:8-11; 62:2-4a. I have added Isaiah 61:1-3 as a foundation and expanded 62:2-4a to 62:2-5 for completeness. I hope you find this exposition a blessing.

Last week we explored Jesus’ appearance to Mary Magdalene as recorded in John 20:1-18. I hope you enjoy this second meditation on Jesus’ resurrection appearances in John’s Gospel. Today’s Scripture, John 20:19-31, records Jesus’ appearance to the disciples and to Thomas. Thomas’ transformation from doubt to faith underscores the validity of the Apostles’ witness to the risen Christ. We are invited to imitate Thomas by confessing Jesus as “My Lord and my God.” Click here to access this meditation.
