Come To Life

When you were a kid, what’s something you started but never finished (like piano lessons or a hobby)?

Study

Read Matthew 20:18-19. Why do you think the disciples still struggled to believe, even after Jesus plainly predicted His death and resurrection?

Why is it significant that the disciples were still hiding in fear in John 20:19, even after hearing the resurrection news?

Compare the disciples’ fear in John 20 with their boldness in Acts 4:13, 19-20. What changed? How does seeing the resurrected Jesus in John 20:19-21 explain their transformation?

Read John 20:30-31. How does belief in Jesus bring life, not just knowledge?

What’s Next

Have you ever found yourself believing in Jesus, but living like He’s still in the grave? What does that look like?

What are some areas of your life where fear or disappointment still has power?

How would your week look different if you lived like the resurrection really happened?

Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” What might He be sending you to do?
