Easter: Finding the Living Jesus

Hope in the Living Jesus              Lk. 24.1-12  

1. What did the Holy Spirit teach you from this text?

2. How do we treat Jesus like He's dead (when a trial comes or we lose something or someone dear to us)?

3. How do Luke's research (1:1-4) and names of eyewitnesses (24:10) demonstrate his gospel is not just a myth concocted by Jesus' followers?

4. What is the meaning of the resurrection in v. 7 (Hint: "must")?

5. Why do you have to believe the meaning of the resurrection to find the living Jesus?

6. Why did we need Jesus to be our sacrifice, not just our example (1 Pet. 2:24; Rom. 5:8)?

7. How does understanding the meaning of the resurrection protect you from a guilt-ridden life of shame?

8. Why is it not enough to know Christ is risen, you have to know the risen Christ?
