Unthinkable !

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. — John 20:19

Overjoyed would be an understatement! After having every dream shattered, now they share the unspeakable joy of seeing what was not possible and experiencing what was unthinkable. The power available to them is now unlimited and their future is without boundary. Jesus, their Teacher, is Lord of all and their future is in his hands.

Steps to Holiness

Holiness among God’s people brings Him honour. Unholiness dishonours Him. Holiness  has two equally important  dimensions. We are set apart  to God and separated  from the world. Just as God cannot  be glorified  by those who are not fully His, neither  can He glorified  by  those who  are of the world.

Therefore, we must live in the world, but we must not live  as being of the world. Be careful that a negative focus  on external behaviour does not blind us to the true  nature of unholiness and allow us to be seduced by the world.
[Truth-in-Action through 2 Kings]

Commands 

Commit truth to faithful teachers

And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Confess faults one to another

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
