What did you hear for the first time? What stood out? What challenged you? What confused you?
MAIN POINT
“The resurrected Jesus brings lasting restoration to broken people and a broken world.”
DIGGING DEEPER

b) How important is the resurrection of Christ to the Christian faith?
c) What was Mary’s attitude before and after meeting the resurrected Jesus?

b) Describe a time when Jesus ministered to you personally.
c) Why is the restoration that Jesus provides permanent?
3) Restoration to Broken People
a) What does Jesus do with broken people?
b) What is the progression of sharing the gospel?
c) What’s the difference between Mary’s approach to the tomb and our approach to God’s throne?
4) Restoration to a Broken World

b) What does Jesus as the master gardener of our lives do?
APPLICATION
Focus on the reality of the resurrection and allow the master gardener to work in your life to produce fruit for His glory.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, have Your way in my heart and in my life. Tend to the areas of my life where the cares of this life have crept in and distracted me from seeing You clearly.
