Easter: Is The Resurrection Plausible?

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | April 20, 2025

Referenced Scripture:
1 Corinthians 15:3-19, John 7:5, Mark 3:20-21, Matthew 27:62-66, Mark 16:6-7, Luke 22:32-62, Romans 6:4, John 11:25-26

Reflection Questions:

1. What have been some “fork in the road” moments you have experienced on your spiritual journey with God? How have those shaped your life either positively or negatively?

2. Why is it important to know that the truth of Christianity is rooted in an event of human history (resurrection of Jesus) and not simply the life and teachings of Jesus?

3. Do you believe that the changed lives of the disciples and Jesus’ closest followers is compelling evidence for the actual resurrection of Jesus? Why or why not?

4. What other evidence convinces you that Jesus actually rose bodily from the dead? Do you have any doubts or questions? Explain.

5. Read Luke 22:60-62 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

6. What expression do you think was on the face of Jesus as he looked at Peter in the midst of his failure and betrayal? Why do you think that?

7. How does Jesus look at you in the midst of your failures in this life? How is Jesus looking at you now? How does our answer to this question affect how we will respond to Jesus? Explain.

8. Are you at a fork in the road moment with Jesus right now? Why or why not? What would it look like to go ALL IN with Him at your fork in the road? What is your next step toward Him?
