Term 3 – Week 1
Big Idea – To understand that Jesus came alive again
Luke 24v1-12
Lesson Background
God’s plan to make peace with people reached its climax with Jesus’ resurrection. The woman went to the tomb with spices in order to give Jesus a proper burial. Their initial reaction to the resurrection was fear. They could not take in what had happened. When they were finally able to comprehend Jesus’ resurrection, their confusion was mixed with joy.
Jesus predicted not only his own death, but his resurrection too (Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:34).
The resurrection was a demonstration of God’s power over everything, even death. God’s friendship with his people could finally be restored as forgiveness was won and peace was re-established.
