Series: Easter 2019
Part 1: Imagine that you had been a child when Jesus was walking around on earth
Imagine that you had been a child:
Back in the day:
When Jesus was walking around on earth.
What would you remember most about those days?
What would you remember most about Jesus?
Part 2: How do people respond to Jesus on the cross?
How did people respond, back in the day, to Jesus on the cross?
How do people respond today?
We identify 3 responses from the narrative in Luke 23:
1. Indifference
2. Sneering and mockery
3. Repentance and faith
Those who thought they had everything - lost everything
He who knew he had nothing - gained everything
Part 3: The ups and downs on that first Easter
He is not here – he has risen
Their words seemed like nonsense
They were kept from recognising him
Then their eyes were opened
Peace be with you
He opened their minds
You are witnesses
