1. The Bible clearly states that God the Father raised Jesus from the dead. Look up these passages and note what they say about your absolution from sin (“objective justification”): Acts 2:24; 3:15; 4:10; Rom. 6:4; Eph. 1:20
2. The Bible also clearly states that Jesus raised Himself from the dead: John 2:19-21; 10:17-18. What does this action of Christ prove about His person?
3. How has Jesus’ resurrection made a difference in your life in regard to your job, work/school, health, finances, friendships, and family relationships?
4. Martin Luther writes about the resurrection from the dead: “No article so contradicts experience as this one does. For our eyes see that all the world is swept away by death and dies. Emperors and kings, high and low, young and old…Therefore it is necessary for every Christian to have before him the testimony of Holy Scripture concerning the resurrection of the dead and also the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, proved and attested by certain revelation.” Pray for resurrection based hope and courage in the face of any difficulties you are dealing with.
