The Resurrection of King Jesus

Call to Worship: Psalm 111

Reflection Questions:

1. Begin by praising God with Psalm 111. Pause in silence as you consider his majestic deeds.

2. Before reading about the Easter story, share why Jesus’ resurrection is a big deal to you personally.

3. Read John 20:1-20 and answer these questions:

   1. What does this tell us about God?

   2. What does this tell us about humanity?

   3. What does this tell us about the good news?

4. Now read 1 Corinthians 15:17-25 and answer the same questions.

5. The Gospel of John is unique in pointing out that Jesus’ tomb was in a garden, implying that God is offering the world a new beginning, a new Eden. Where in your life do you need a new beginning? Take a moment to ask God to bring his resurrection power.

6. Who in your life needs the message of resurrection today? Take a moment to pray for them.

7. As you close, prayerfully consider these two ways to respond: 1) Put your trust in the resurrection power of Jesus in regards to a situation that you feel hopeless about, 2) Be like Mary and go to others with the good news.
