Mark 16:1-7
1. What emotions do you think you would have experienced, and what might you have said, if you were one of the people who saw Jesus risen from the dead?
2. How has the resurrection of Jesus altered your values & perspective of life?
3. Look up and read Isaiah 55:8-9. When was the last time you genuinely believed that you knew what made the most sense, only to realize God's way was so much better?
4. In the Garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-41), Jesus prayed and submitted to the will of His Father. Name something you need to pray and submit to the will of the Father today.
Take a few minutes and praise God for His plan to redeem us; Jesus' death and resurrection. Also, pray for the strength to submit every area of your life to God, especially the answers to #4.
