Jesus’ Message to His Disciples on Easter John 20:19-23
What kind of things do you think it would be important for Jesus to say to His disciples when He rose from the dead?
Read John 20:19-23. What was the first thing Jesus said to them? Why was this very important?
Why did Jesus show them his wounds? What did this demonstrate to the disciples?
Why would a word of peace from Jesus be important for them as they are sent out by Him?
How did the Father send Jesus? How is this to be true for the disciples as well?
Read Genesis 2:7. How does this relate to what Jesus does in this passage with the disciples?
How does receiving the Holy Spirit complement the disciples being sent out by Jesus?
Read verse 23. Forgiving and not forgiving sins is really something only God can do. How does this word from Jesus to the disciples fit within that truth?
Why would this be an important authority for the disciples/apostles to be given? (Read Ephesians 2:20) How does God use human leaders to accomplish His divine will?
Prayer – Pray that you will live in the peace of the Risen Christ. Thank Jesus for His loving sacrifice.
