Alive

Session 13

Mark 16:1-14

ENGAGE

Ask:

• When have you had trouble returning an item without the receipt?
• Why do store employees want to see a proof of purchase? (p. 109)

Lead the group to discuss the need to show proof of purchase for an item.

Transition:

We live in a skeptical world where proof is required and often questioned.
Sometimes, people even think our proof requires proof!
As believers, we need to be confident in the reality of Jesus’s resurrection
because our faith is worthless without it.

In today’s session, we’re going to look at what proof we have of Jesus’s resurrection.

EXPLORE THE TEXT

Contextualize:

review the Jews’ understanding of life after death.
Discuss why the idea of a resurrection would be hard for many Jews to accept.
