The first day Jesus appeared to the disciples that night in the upper room. They were in lock down for fear of the Jews and were waiting for further reports of the appearances of Jesus. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in their midst with the greeting, "Peace be unto you." Even then, they were not convinced that He was real, but were affrighted thinking he was a spirit (ghost).

Milford Baptist Church
Milford Baptist Church is a family oriented church believing in conservative Christianity. We at MBC believe that Jesus Christ is the prophetic messiah of the Old Testament as follows:
Jesus is the son of God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; who was conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; who suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried, descended into hell and on the third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence, He shall come to judge, the quick and the dead.
We at MBC believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy church of God, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
