The Vineyard- March 31, 2013


The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

Luke 24:1-12
Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of his word. 
Read the passage.
-          The angels told the women to remember what Jesus had told them
o   Why did they need to understand that this was part of God’s plan?
o   Could that have remembered Jesus’ words, if they had never listened to him in the first place?
o   Can we remember Jesus’ words to us in critical moments of our life, if we never take the time to read them?
-          The women go and tell the other disciples
o   Do we view our faith as a private matter, or do we share the news of Jesus Christ with others?
o   Why is it important to share our experience with Jesus Christ?
-          Peter goes to the tomb for himself
o   All of us first heard the good news about Jesus Christ for someone else.  Do you continue to live off of their testimony, or do you go looking for Jesus yourself?
o   Why is it important that we seek Jesus for ourselves?
Pray that we may study Jesus teaching, and that we may remember it so that it shapes us. 
Pray that we may seek out Jesus Christ for ourselves, rather than attempting to live off of the testimony of others.
