Passage: The Resurrection, On the Road to Emmaus, Jesus Appears to the Disciples, The Ascension
Memory Verse: [I've done this one before, but I really liked it so I decided to review it] "I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. 7Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints." -Philemon 1:6-7
Notes: (v.1-12) The women took spices to the Jesus' tomb very early in the morning, but when they got there, HIS BODY WAS NOT THERE!! THEN, suddenly two men in gleaming clothes stood beside them, and told the women that Jesus has risen! They reminded the women of His words in Galilee; "The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again." When the women went back, they told what they had heard to the Eleven and others. But they did not believe the women.
-(v.13-35) Two men were walking along, talking about what had happened when Jesus came up to them. When he asked what they were talking about, they told him about Jesus, who was crucified. When they reached the village, the men urged him to stay with them, so Jesus went in. At the table, Jesus took bread, gave thanks, and gave it to them. At this, they recognized Jesus and returned the Jerusalem, spreading the good news!
-(v.36-53) Jesus came to the disciples while they were still talking about them and frightened them, for they thought he was a ghost. But Jesus showed them his hands and feet and flesh. He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised: but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
He then blessed the disciples and was taken up into heaven.
ACT OF LOVE: Today marked the day of my LAST AP TEST, so I basically had no homework to do afterschool. However, my sister and her husband unexpectedly came and so I was with them pretty much the whole day! (We had dinner and went to watch BABIES). So by the time I got home and everything, it was 10pm and I hadn't done my act of love yet! I decided to go on AIM for possible inspiration (haha) and my friend Canaan Ko asked me to pray for him. That inspired me to ask as many people as I could (on my buddy list, facebook, etc) for prayer requests, even the people I don't normally talk to. At first, it seemed slightly intimidating to ask people I don't usually talk to, but after a few people I got some momentum going and it ended up being pretty fun! Everyone was very nice about me randomly asking them =) I wrote all their prayer requests in my QT journal, with different colored markers and everything. hahaha. Alot of people even offered to pray for me back, which was awesome.
