The Women of Easter- “Why Seek the Living among the Dead?”

(Mt.28:1-10; Mk.16:1-8; Lk.24:1-12; Jn. 20:10-18)

He is risen! Early on the morning of the first Easter, women are the first to seek and speak with Jesus. As they discover, encountering Jesus alive changes everything, including the trajectory of our journeys!

Easter is... the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus!

Jesus died, was buried, rose on the 3rd day & appeared (1 Cor. 15:4-8).

Easter means... We have hope! We can be forgiven! (Rom.5:2; Eph.1:7)

We are deeply loved! (Rom.5:5, 8)

We have peace with God through a relationship with Jesus (Rom.5:1)

God has accepted the ransom Jesus paid with his life for us (Mt.20:28).

Easter changes... everything! (especially, the trajectories of our lives.)

Experiences and Conversations of the Women of Easter

Women seek- They walk to the gravesite to perform burial rights.

They talk about the stone blocking the entry.

Angels announce-The tomb is empty: Jesus lives! “the Living One”

Go quickly and tell the disciples.
