There is a popular movie out called Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It is a science fiction tale of a human encounter with a flying saucer. The story line has it that the first kind of encounter with aliens is to see them. The second kind of encounter is physical evidence. And the third kind is to actually touch it! That's what we have here in Christendom. Over 500 people actually saw the resurrected Jesus. That's a sighting, a first encounter. We have physical evidence of the empty tomb and more. That's a second kind of encounter. And as the news of Easter circles outward, you can have a close encounter of the third kind. Yes, the resurrected Jesus can actually be encountered, touched, experienced by faith! And we need that!
Note the encounters mentioned in Mark 16.1 -1 8.
