7th Religion - Discussion Questions over Matthew 28 are due Thursday (4/24)

1. One of the first things Jesus said to his disciples after He rose from the dead was, “Do not be afraid.”  Why do you think Jesus said this?  What would the disciples be afraid of?  What should they do instead of being afraid?
2. The Pharisees circulated a story about Jesus being stolen instead of rising from the dead.  Some people today believe this is really what happened.  What if the story was true?  What would you do if Jesus didn’t really rise from the dead on Easter?
3. The Great Commission at the end of Matthew says we should make disciples and teach people what Jesus taught.  How do you think we are doing, as a church, at teaching and making disciples?  How are you doing personally at teaching and making disciples?
