Easter Sunday

Jesus establishes a new kingdom with new Values

Take Away- Stay Close to Jesus

Stay close to Jesus, no matter what is going on, to see kingdom principles and resurrecting power.

The kingdom is established with new priorities

The Woman

The women stayed close to Jesus and wanted to honor Him. - Not trusted but blessed

They didn’t have time to prepare the the spices and put them on Jesus

Shocked when the tomb was rolled away.

So focused on what they could understand

We are slow to recognize what Jesus told us

Wanted to tell others - knowing they would be discredited

What would that feel like?

The first telling of Jesus’ is ignored

Other disciples wrote the women off

Women were not trusted

Culture stood in the way of resurrecting power

Women are important to Jesus

Peter wanted to see for himself - “bad disciple” Judaic

Denies Jesus 3 times on Friday

The angel doesn’t appear to him.

If you are not sure like Peter go see for yourself

If you are like the women know that culture not seeing is normal

The Kingdom of Jesus does not need your cultural values it needs you to stay close to Jesus.

In our serving Jesus we might get it wrong, but there is a difference between trying and not trying.

When the good news of Jesus is realized we are driven to others who we know will not believe us.

Resereccing power
