Third Appearance Celebration Introduction:
\n“Follow me!” The command in the statement is clear. But will we? Can we? Jesus appears to His apostles for a third time after His death. Follow me is quite familiar. We heard this earlier when Jesus gathered His apostles to teach them as He did His Father’s work. Now Jesus beckons them once more to be more complete in the work He taught them.
\nIn Acts, Luke tells us about Saul. Up to this point Saul is a very bad man. When Saul hears Jesus speaking to him, Saul turns his life around and becomes Christian. Ananias will be the spokesman that will turn Saul into Paul. Wonders in the world occur when Jesus speaks.
\nOur Thanksgiving psalm applies to individual healing and the dedication of a home. We see the Lord’s life giving powers as we journey to wellness in body, mind and soul. We see the Lord looks after us with shelter and comfort even in life’s storms.
\nIn Revelations, John summons us to be loyal to our Triune God.
\nIf Jesus appears to us and says, “Follow Me!” what will we do? Follow and Lead!<\/p>\n

Third Appearance Celebration Scripture:
\nThe Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He answered, “Here I am, Lord.” Acts 9:10.
\nHear, O LORD, and be gracious to me! O LORD, be my helper!” Ps. 30:10.
\n“To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” Rev. 5:13.
\nWhen Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into the sea. John 21:7.<\/p>\n

Prayer:
\nMighty Lord God,
\nin whom we know the power of redemption,
\nyou stand among us in the shadows of our time.
\nAs we move through every sorrow and trial of this life,
\nuphold us with knowledge of the final morning
\nwhen, in the glorious presence of your risen Son,
\nwe will share in his resurrection,
\nredeemed and restored to the fullness of life
\nand forever freed to be your people. Amen.<\/p>\n
