## What the Story Means to Us
1.
1. Why do you think Jesus said the soldiers did not know what they were doing?
The soldiers were Romans who did not know very much about the Jewish religion. They probably thought Jesus was an ordinary criminal, and they treated him as one.
1.
1. They soldiers gambled for Jesus' clothing. Why does that help us believe Jesus was the Messiah?
This action was one of many things that the scriptures, written hundreds of years before, said they would do to the Messiah. All these prophesies were fulfilled in Jesus.
1.
1. Jesus told the robber who rented that he would be with Jesus in Paradise that day. What does that tell us about the way to enter into heaven?
The robber did not perform a single good deed. Instead, he simply confessed that he was a sinner, and asked Jesus to remember him in the kingdom. As a result, Jesus promised that he would be in Paradise—that is, heaven—that same day. The way to enter into heaven is to believe in Jesus.
1.
1. Why do you think Jesus did not come down from the cross and save himself when the people asked him to?
The people who told Jesus to come down from the cross did not want to believe in him. They were only mocking him. They did not realize that he had the power to come down from the cross. But he came to earth to die for sinners. That was the will of his Father. He had to stay on the cross and give up his own life in order to make it possible for God to forgive other people who believed in Jesus.
1.
1. What was finished when Jesus cried out?
When Jesus cried out, "It is finished!" he wanted to say that he had finished paying the penalty for the sins of everyone in the world. It was now possible for God to forgive those who repent and trusted in Jesus. People no longer need to die for their own sins.
1.
1. Why was the curtain of the temple torn from top to bottom?
The curtain of the temple prevented people from seeing or entering into the most holy place in the temple where God was. God in heaven above tore the curtain from the top to the bottom when Jesus died. He did this to show that Jesus had opened a way for man to approach God through the sacrifice of Jesus.
1. Why did the soldier say that Jesus was innocent, and the Son of God?
The Roman soldier had probably executed hundreds of criminals. He recognized that Jesus did not act like a criminal. Instead, he was a good man who asked his Father to forgive the soldiers, and who spoke kindly to the robber who repented. Furthermore, the miraculous signs that happened when Jesus died convinced the soldier that Jesus was not just a man—he was the Son of God.
## Summary
Jesus suffered greatly as he died. The soldiers mocked and mistreated him. The religious leaders and the crowd mocked him. Even one of the robbers on a cross beside him mocked him. Despite this, Jesus remained on the cross and suffered in order to make a way for God to forgive sinners. He was willing to die in order to obey his Father and finish the task that he came to do. One of the robbers understood this, and went to heaven with Jesus. One of the soldiers also saw the Jesus was truly the Son of God. And two of the religious leaders believed in Jesus and honored him by burying his body. God was honored even through the death of his Son.

## What the Story Means to Us
1.
1. Who was it that remembered Jesus' promise to rise from the dead in three days?
It is surprising that the disciples did not remember the Jesus said he would rise from the dead in three days. Instead, it was the unbelieving Jewish leaders who remembered what he said. They did not believe him, but they did remember his words. The disciples should have remembered.
1.
1. Were the soldiers able to prevent the tomb from opening?
The Roman soldiers were the best soldiers of that time. However, they could not stand against the single angel that God sent to open the tomb. The strongest military force could not stop God from doing what he planned to do. When the angel appeared, they fell down like dead men.
1.
1. How did the angel treat the women who came to the tomb?
The angel knew that the women had come to honor Jesus by putting spices on his body. Therefore, the angel spoke kindly to them and told them not to be afraid. He showed them the empty tomb, and told them that Jesus would meet them in Galilee.
1.
1. Why do you think Jesus met the women, when he told them the same thing as the angel?
1.
1.
Jesus did not need to appear to the women. The angel had already told them that hye was alive and would meet the disciples in Galilee. But Jesus also knew that the women had come to honor him. Perhaps he appears to them for that reason, so he could honor them for coming to serve him. The women were therefore the first people to see Jesus after he became alive again.
## Summary
Jesus had told the disciples and other people the he would become alive again after three days. Surprisingly, the disciples did not remember this, nor come to the tomb to see if he would rise again. Only the women came, and even they did not expect Jesus to be alive. The only people who seemed to remember that he promised to rise again were the unbelieving religious leaders. They remembered what Jesus said, and tried to stop people from believing that he would rise from the dead. They posted soldiers to make sure his body remained in the tomb. But they could not stop the plan of God. And angel struck down the soldiers, and Jesus rose with power.

## What the Story Means to Us
1.
1. Why do you think the two disciples on the road did not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead?
They thought Jesus was the Messiah, so it was very difficult and discouraging for them when he died. Perhaps they did not want to believe the report from the women so that they would not be disappointed again if Jesus was not really alive.
1.
1. Why do you think the two disciples did not recognize Jesus?
It seems as if Jesus prevented the two disciples from recognizing him. Perhaps he wanted them to believe the things the prophets had written about him in God's word before he revealed himself to them. From the time Jesus went back to heaven, people have not been able to see him, and must believe in him because of what God's word says about him.
1.
1. Why did the disciples in Jerusalem not believe Jesus was alive when he first appeared to them?
Jesus had told the disciples that he would become alive again after three days. The woman had also seen him alive at the tomb and told the disciples. And the two disciples who saw Jesus on the road told them that Jesus was alive. Even so, when Jesus appeared among them in the room, they thought he was a ghost. It is amazing that they did not believe he was alive even with so much proof. They only understood clearly after Jesus explained to them the things written about him in God's word. People believe when they listen to his word.
1.
1. What must people do in order for God to forgive them?
People must repent in order for God to forgive them. That is, they must change their minds about themselves and confess that they are sinners, and change their minds about God and confess that Jesus died to pay for their sins.

Jesus is in heaven ruling over all things at the right hand of God. This encourages his disciples, as they know that he will enable them to do what he has commanded us. He will cause disciples to believe in him in every people group.
## Summary
The disciples did not understand that the Messiah had to die for the sins of people. Therefore, they were so discouraged when Jesus died that it was difficult for them to believe that he was alive again—even when there was so much proof that he was alive. However, Jesus appeared alive to many of the disciples over a period of forty days in order to prove to them from the word of God that he was the Messiah and had risen from the dead. He them sent the Holy Spirit to give them power so they could tell people everywhere to repent, believe in him, and obey all that he had commanded us. Meanwhile, he is sitting at the right hand of God and ruling over everything.
