Easter Sunday: From Confusion to Clarity

Take a few minutes to catch up, tell stories, and laugh together. Trust and friendship take time to build. If you’re launching a new DNA, one person should tell their story — what do we need to know about you? Next week, have another person in your DNA share their story.

In the first two verses of John 20, we see a confused Mary telling the even more confused disciples that Jesus' tomb has been disrupted; the stone was rolled away and his body was stolen from his grave. The following verses, through to verse 18, show the truth of what had actually happened: Jesus had risen from the dead! This meant that they had EVERY reason to put all of their trust in him.

Jesus rose from the dead, which means there is no one greater to put your trust in.

How has your life been changed by this reality? 
(Recall and share how your life was before Christ and what it looks like after you've been in relationship with him.)

1. A resurrected Jesus is worth following above any other gods. As we saw fellow believers get baptized on Easter Sunday to outwardly declare their faith in God, what is ONE WAY you can outwardly reflect a life lived for Christ?
In what area(s) might you need to crucify your flesh and live a more surrendered life of gratitude for the price Jesus paid for you?

Take time to pray with and for each other.
