Episode notes
Go Back To Your Galilee
- If you feel Jesus has gone AWOL, go to your Galilee — the place or person where you first met the Lord and pursue Him there.
- Frank Viola urges returning to the origin point of faith (church, retreat, or person) as a practical step to reconnect.
Folded Grave Cloth As Proof
- John 20's tomb detail (folded head cloth, linen rolled) signals deliberate, organized evidence of resurrection rather than theft.
- Frank Viola reads the folded napkin as Jesus' fingerprint that convinced John to believe.
Humble Yourself And Pursue Him
- To find Jesus again, stoop down in humility and pursue Him — humility opens you to being led and taught by God.
- Viola links stooping low (Mary at the tomb) to biblical promises that God reveals to the humble.
