Jesus After Resurrection In The Holy Bible
Jesus After Resurrection As diverse and multicultural as today’s society may appear, the majority of individuals have still heard of the gospels that help make up the Holy Bible. Although there are many in the Bible, the four canonical gospels, Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John, are perhaps the most widely recognized. These four, although composed by different individuals, share many similarities in common such as how those who encounter Jesus after his resurrection behave. Even certain traits that characterize Jesus himself after resurrection are somewhat related.

In fact, Jesus actually surpasses absence of emotion, and forgives them, even Judas who betrayed him in the first place.
