Women

Scripture: Luke 24:1-9

These women were going to anoint Jesus' body with spices. They knew the body had been put in a tomb and sealed by a large round stone. Mark 16:3 tells us that they wondered how they could move the stone so they could reach the body. Not only was the stone moved for them, but the body was not there. He had risen from the dead. As Peter said in his sermon on the day of Pentecost, "But God raised Him from the dead, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on Him."

Questions:
1. Why were the women going to the tomb?
They were going to anoint Jesus' body with spices.
2. Why did they not find His body?
Because He had risen from the dead.
3. After the angel had told them that Jesus had risen from the dead, what did the women do?
They went and told Jesus' disciples and friends.


Memory verse: 1 Peter 1:3
All honor to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for it is by his boundless mercy that God has given us the privilege of being born again. Now we live with a wonderful expectation because Jesus Christ rose again from the dead. (NLT)
