It&#8217;s true that Christians now read some Hebrew scriptures (like Isaiah 53) to be prophecies of Jesus\u2019s sacrificial death. \u00a0However, they were not understood in that way during Jesus\u2019 earthly ministry. And even though Jesus told them he would die and be raised again, the disciples clearly did not understand what he was saying and did not accept his statements until what he told them had taken place.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Believers have the whole story now, and have heard it numerous times if they have attended church for years.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>But for those first witnesses it would have been a brand new concept.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When the angel told the women about Jesus\u2019 resurrection, something started to click in their minds. This was what Jesus had said would happen. \u00a0Now they could see that his body was no longer in the grave. They were still afraid, but joy began to take hold.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Then, as the women went to tell the other disciples what they had seen, Jesus came and met them. Now they understood. Divine help is often necessary for us to gain an understanding of God\u2019s ways. When we try to understand deep matters of faith with only our own strength and intellect, we just can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n<p>The resurrection is important because it shows that because Jesus defeated death, we can also defeat death by putting our faith in him. Just as some theologians have said the crucifixion is important because there Jesus pays the price for our sins, the resurrection shows death defeated once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>As the disciples encountered the risen Jesus, it soon became clear to them what had happened.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>They joyfully shared the truth about Jesus with the rest of the world with such conviction that, nearly 2,000 years later, billions around the world believe it.<\/p>\n<p>Christ is risen\u2014he is risen indeed! A most blessed Easter to you.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Discussion Questions<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>How would our faith be different if Christ died for our sins, but was not resurrected? What does his resurrection mean for us and our relationship with God through Christ?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>What biblical truths has Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, helped you to understand?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>What makes it hard to accept that you need<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Jesus\u2019 \u00a0death in order to be saved from your sins, as well as his resurrection to defeat death? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Activity Suggestions<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Write the story of the resurrection from the point of view of someone who is hearing about it for the first time. What questions would they have? What would convince them it was real? This can be done in smaller groups or individually, if students feel more comfortable.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Wish one or more people you come across (a friend or the cashier at the grocery store, for instance) a blessed Easter. If they ask you questions about what Easter means for you, be ready to answer their questions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Closing Prayer<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Holy God, we are filled with awe and gratefulness that you offered your son Jesus to die for our sins and that you raised him after three days.
