Reflection & Discussion

Warm-up. Share about a favourite Easter tradition.

Read: John 20:1-29. Ask God to bless your study.

1. How did Mary first react to the empty tomb? Figuratively speaking, have you ever faced an ‘empty tomb’ of confusion and doubt? What was that like for you?

2. Some people say that they can’t come to Jesus for new life because their faith is too small. How does knowing that our faith and salvation is a gift (Ephesians 2:8) help resolve this?

3. Jesus tells Mary - as the first evangelist - to “go... and tell....” and she did go to the disciples saying, “I have seen the Lord!” Jesus gave her purpose. How has He given you purpose?

4. Why were the disciples locked behind closed doors? What things are you fearful of? What did Jesus do about their fear?

5. What kinds of conditions have you placed on God? Why do you think Jesus wanted Thomas to look at the nail prints in his hands and spear mark in his side? How did this help Thomas to overcome his doubts and fear? How does Christ’s love and sacrifice - as seen in his wounds - help us drop our excuses?

Pray that God will help us to joyfully share these Easter gifts of faith, friendship, and peace with those around us and to daily look to the wounds of Christ as a reminder of his ever present love and resurrection power in our lives. Amen!
