Video Lesson: 40 Days with Jesus

He is risen! [Please say the next part!]

Post Resurrection Sunday, or Easter Sunday, we have that time period between the resurrection and ascension of Jesus.

Here is fill-out-able lesson that you can try completing before watching the video, and then you check the answers and get the full teaching in the video!

Jesus rose from the dead on what we now call Easter Sunday.

Acts 1:1-3 – He interacted with his disciples for                    days before He ascended to the Father.

What did Jesus do during this time?

  1. Jesus r                     with His followers
    1. Luke 24:30-35 – disciples going to
      E                               
    2. John 20:19-29 – the E                          , even D                            T                        
    3. John 21:15-19 – P                           is restored

      This shows us that Jesus shows grace but calls us to truth and understanding.

    2. John 20:21-23, Acts 1:5-8 – Giving the H                  
      S                         

      This shows us that we have the power to proclaim the Gospel, for we have the Word of Truth (Jesus, and the Spirit-inspired Bible)

So, may we trust the empowering Holy Spirit who connects us with Father to teach the world about Jesus – the One revealed in Scripture who saves us from sin!

Matthew 7:17-20

So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
Matthew 7:17‭-‬20, ESV

We are born as diseased trees, selfish in nature, so that all our works are as bd fruit.

But Christ’s blood can restore us and make us living and healthy, able to truly do good works.
