Luke
24:1-12
"Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the
spices that they had prepared. When they found the stone rolled away
from
the entrance, they went in. But they did not find the body of the Lord
Jesus, and they did not know what to think.
Suddenly two
men in shining
white clothes stood beside them. The women were afraid and bowed to the
ground. But the men said, "Why are you looking in the place of the dead
for someone who is alive? Jesus is not here! He has been raised from
death.
Remember that while he was still in Galilee, he told you, "The Son of
Man
will be handed over to sinners who will nail him to a cross. But three
days later he will rise to life.' "
Then they
remembered what
Jesus had said.
Mary Magdalene,
Joanna, Mary
the mother of James, and some other women were the ones who had gone to
the tomb. When they returned, they told the eleven apostles and the
others
what had happened. The apostles thought it was all nonsense, and they
would
not believe.
But Peter ran
to the tomb.
And when he stooped down and looked in, he saw only the burial clothes.
Then he returned, wondering what had happened."

Corinthians 15:3-9 "I
told you the most important part of the message, and you believed it.
That
part is: Christ died for our sins, as the Scripture say, He was buried,
and three days later he was raised to life, as the Scriptures say.
Christ
appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After this, he appeared
to more than five
hundred
other followers. Most of them are still alive, but some have died. He
also
appeared to James, and then to all the apostles. 8finally, he appeared
to me, even though I am like someone who was born at the wrong time"
5. Name five
different groups
of people that Jesus appeared to?

The facts show
that Jesus
died on the cross to take the punishment that we deserve. When he came
back to life it showed that he had power over death. When we ask Jesus
to be our Lord he forgives us of our sin on the basis that he has
beaten
death.
6. Knowing the
facts that
Jesus has come to life again is not enough, we need to ask Jesus
personally
to be our Lord. Have you done this in your life? Why?
