The Resurrection Hope
#;? I
V Lesson Scripture:
Matthew 28: 1-10 and Thessa
jtvnians 4: 13-18
K! Lesson Aims: To appreci
ate the resurrection of Christ,
2h remain joyful and full of
|?0pe in the midst of troubles,
SBjd to live for the return of
||* Background: The trial of
?reus was swift and illegal. By
might Jesus was apprehended
Sir the Sanhedrin Court.
|t* They had no real power, so
^bsus was then taken to Pilate.
Pilate found no fault in him,
however, due to Sanhedrin
pressure, he pronounced death.
The crucifixion occurred; the
Old testament prophecy had
Been fulfilled. The burial was
Kasty, because of the Jewish
Sabbath [sundown Friday to
Sundown Saturday]. On the
first day of the week Mary
Magdalene and others came to
prepare the body for a proper
Burial.
; Lesson: The ladies were
present at the crucifixion and
the burial, so they knew where
pie body was. While they are
approaching tffe tomb, an
earthquake occurs. The Roman
guards are fearful and fall into
an unconscious state. The
women are also afraid.
The angel reassures them,
saying "Fear not." The angel
shows them the place where the
Body was laid. They are
instructed to go and tell the dis
ciples that He is risen and to
meet Him in Galilee. On the
way Jesus meets them and
repeats what the angel said.
The second portion of the
lesson centers on the Thessalo
nians' concern for the dead
believers.
When Christ returns, what
will happen to them?" Paul's
answer is very specific. When
Christ returns, the dead in
Christ shall rise first. Those
who are alive shall be caught
up together with them to be
with Christ foreter.
Application: He is Risen!
That's the Christian's founda
tion: the hope of the future.
Back in December, we cele
brated his birth. Today our cel
ebration is on the Resurrection!
If this had not occurred, death
would have the victory. As we
examine our lives, is there evi
dence that the Lord is risen in
us? Is our transformation real
or superficiai? When death
comes, it is natural to mourn a
loss, but for the Christian,
despair doesn't enter our think
ing. Christ will not forget the
dead. Trouble will come in all
of our lives. Disappointment
will raise its ugly head, and at
times'it will appear that the
world has gone mad. Let's not
forget that our limitations are
God's opportunity. God is
faithful to us! Yes, we get
weary; we get frustrated, we
hurt ? but because He lives,
we can face tomorrow! Our
Hope is Alive!
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By MILDRED PEPPERS
-
Local student serves as page
Natasha ShaVon Sunday, a
student at Carver High School,
tfecently served as a page for the
North Carolina House of Repre
sentatives. Pages play an impor
tant role in the General Assem
bly by assisting members of the
House during committee meet
ings and floor sessions. Serving
as a page gives students a chance
to interact with their govern
ment, and it gives lawmakers a
chance to meet and listen to
some of their most important
Constituents, their schoolchild
ren.
. Natasha ShaVon Sunday was
sponsored by Rep. Warren C.
Oldham and is the daughter of
Marcallus and Annette Sunday.
