Following Jesus’ death, on the third day, he rises and walks out of his tomb alive and well! Jesus’ resurrection signals to us a new beginning! No longer does our story end in death but, instead, extends into new life in Christ. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead extends to us so that we can experience freedom, joy, and an abundant life on this side of eternity. Easter Sunday is about celebrating Jesus giving you and me a brand new start! And it doesn’t matter who you are or where you’ve been, it’s God’s gift for you.
This week, we explore these reflection questions:
How does this story speak to you?
How have you experienced (ongoing) Resurrection in your life?
Where do we need Resurrection in our life?
What new things happening in your life may God be starting?
What are we doing with those things?
SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Luke 24:1-12 (NIV)
THIS WEEK’S BIG IDEA: Remember what God has done and trust the new things God will continue do.
