Growth Group / Personal Reflection Questions

1. Why is it significant that Mary Magdalene was the first to discover the empty tomb and encounter the risen Jesus? How does her experience shape our understanding of witness and testimony in the resurrection narrative?

2. Upon hearing Mary's report, Peter and John rush to the tomb. What do their actions and responses reveal about their understanding and belief in Jesus' resurrection in that moment? How does this reflect human tendencies in grappling with unexpected or miraculous events?

3. Mary doesn't recognize Jesus until he says her name. What significance do you see in this?

4. When do you feel most known by other people?

5. When do you feel most known by God?

6. How does this passage inform your understanding of the resurrection to come?
