The Resurrection and the Life
March 31, 2024 • Brian Colmery • John 11:17–27
Easter is a time of generic hope ("after winter comes spring"), but Jesus says he brings hope into our lives now. We tend to downplay Easter so we can fit it into the ways we already understand the world, but Jesus bursts our categories. Dying for our sins and rising from the grave, Jesus opens the door to a new kind of life here and now, and ushers us into eternal life with him forever.
Application Questions:
1. How do you see death affecting your own life? What are the ways you tend to cope with it?
2. What are some ways Jesus’ resurrection interrupts the way you normally think about the world?
3. Are there ways Jesus is inviting you to experience a new way of life now? What would it look like to take him up on that invitation?
