“Jesus and His Resurrection” (Easter 3/31/13)

Pastor Blaik J. Westhoff
Mark 16:1-8

1. Have you ever found out that something you thought was true really wasn’t? Perhaps something on which you based a good deal of your life. How did that make you feel?

2. Remember a time in your life that you felt shock and surprise. Try to imagine how you would of felt to hear the news that Jesus was risen! What are you feeling?

3. Meditate on the surprising truth that Jesus has defeated sin and death! Write down what you thinking.

Further Study:
Luke 24:13-35

1. The two men said to Jesus, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” Do you think you could say this to the people of our community? Do they know the Easter story?

2. Later one of the men said “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Have you experienced this before in your life? Has your heart burned as the scriptures were opened to you?

3. Meditate on the wonder of Easter! He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
