Unit 27 Session 3
THE RISEN KING
MATTHEW 27-28
Jesus' resurrection from the dead on the third day is the linchpin of the Christian faith and is news to be shared with the world.
After a grueling trial and gruesome crucifixion, the beaten, lifeless body of Jesus hung on the cross. With Friday sundown and the approaching Sabbath, there was rush to dispose of the deceased. Determined to honor their Rabbi, some of Jesus' followers arranged to provide Jesus with a proper burial. But they didn't know that the borrowed tomb would only be needed for a very short time. Jesus would not be dead for long. God was about to make His most powerful move yet to fulfill His promise to rescue His people.
Points to consider:
✞ Resisting the Possibility of Jesus' Resurrection
* How can you put Jesus in a place of honor in
your life?
* How can someone try to explain why he or she
believes in Jesus' resurrection?
✞ Encouraging the Reality of Jesus' Resurrection
* What other times has God used Heavenly
messengers to give authoritative, Divine news?
* How does the reality of Jesus' resurrection
impact your life?
✞ Sharing the News of Jesus' Resurrection
* How can I keep myself accountable on
prioritizing telling others the good news
of Jesus?
* How might the reality that every person
will live on for eternity - either with Christ
or without - change our everyday moments?
