HE HAS RISEN!
Mark 16:1-26
Key Verse 16:6
1. |
The risen Lord revealed himself not to all peoples on earth but only to a few. To whom did Jesus reveal the good news of his resurrection? (16:1,7,9,10,12,14) What does this suggest to us about the way to personally experience the power of resurrection? |
2. |
There were not just one or two but three women who encountered a young man in the tomb in v. 5. Who is the young man? Why did he appear? (Heb 1:14; Matthew 18:10; 1Pe 1:12; Rev 5:11) In what respect do you think these women really deserve this kind of special help from the Lord? |
3. |
Mark 16:7 quotes what the women were supposed to say to Jesus’ disciples: “He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” When did Jesus tell the disciples about this? (Mark 14:28) How did it actually happen in Galilee? (John 21) |
4. |
Please consider the way the women responded in v. 8. Yet who took courage and told Jesus’ disciples the news? (9-10) How was she enabled to accomplish such an important mission? |
5. |
The expressions “they did not believe”, “lack of faith”, or “stubborn refusal to believe” in vs. 11, 13, and 14 show us that the disciples had a hard time to believe in the Risen Jesus. Yet, how did the Risen Lord help them out? (14; 15-18) |
6. |
V. 15 says that the resurrection of Jesus is the good news for “all creation.” Why? (16) There are three “signs” that will accompany those who believe. What are these signs for? |
7. |
Vs. 19-20 say that the Risen Lord works with his disciples and confirms his word by the signs that accompany it. What does the “on-going” work of the Risen Lord tell us about the practical way to personally experience the power of resurrection? |
