Week of April 8, 2012

1. Read John 20:1-8.
2. After you bury someone you love, how do you deal with your grief? Do you find comfort in going out to the cemetery? Why?
3. As Mary, having seen Jesus' tortuous death, what is your emotional state two days later? Would you be sleepless? Why else would you visit the tomb so early? Realizing the body is gone, how do you react?
4. What does "the other disciple" (likely John, the author) believe? Why?
5. Father Mike mentioned in his sermon that love for someone gives you insight. How is that true for John here? How is it true in our relationship with the Lord?
6. John believes because of the sign of the grave clothes. What signs are around you that help you believe?
7. Father Mike said, "if your heart is right, your head will catch up". Do you believe this? How has this been true in your life?
8. What do you rely on for evidence that Jesus is the Son of God and that He rose from the dead?
9. Pray for one another....
