Mary Magdalene came and informed the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what Jesus had said to her(John 20:18).
One year ago, I had the honor of being a scribe for a group of people in the persecuted church who had escaped capture and imprisonment. My job was simple: write down what they reported about the ordeal.
I taped craft paper along a wall and listened for five long days as a counselor carefully led them through a debrief of the timeline, their emotions, and thoughts. Some days, I simply stood facing the wall immobilized, pen in hand, my back to the sacred group, weeping as they reported the faithfulness of Jesus.
