John 20:19-31

April 25, 2022

Every time the supernatural touches the natural, the message is always “peace” or “fear not.” When the resurrected Jesus showed up in the closed room where the disciples were hiding, His first word to them was, “Peace.” What would be their reaction? What did Jesus want them to do?

“One of the most dastardly deeds in history, Jesus’ death, is our redemption,” says Dr. J. Vernon McGee. “A place of judgment became our place of mercy. For Jesus, it was a sacrifice and an act of obedience. For us, it was a substitution. For Satan, it was a triumph ending in defeat. For the world, it is only a brutal, unjust murder.”

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.

After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.

He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.

On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
