LIFE OR DEATH? Inadequate Grave

Fellowship:

Icebreaker:
What is your favorite Easter egg?  Cadbury, Peanut Butter, Deviled or something else?
How did you spend Easter?

Scripture:
Matthew 27:57-28:10

Lesson:
The story of Easter is the greatest Life or Death story ever told.  Most life or death stories end in either life or death.  The subject of the story may cheat death and live to tell a fantastic story or the story ends with his death and a scene of his friends and family gathered around a lonely grave.  The Easter story at first ends in death; but, ultimately, it is actually story about life.  And not just life for the Hero of our story but also for all of us!  Hallelujah!  What a Savior!

What did Joseph of Arimathea do to show his love of Jesus?
Why was securing the tomb so important?
What day did the chief priests and Pharisees go to Pilate?
Why was it significant for them to do it on that day?
What security was used at Jesus’ tomb?
On Easter morning, how would you have felt if you were a guard?  A chief priest?  Mary Magdalene?
How do you feel about Jesus’ resurrection?
How do you share your joy of the resurrection with believers?  Non-believers?
