  1. If you could design the ultimate Easter goodie basket for adults, what would be in it?
  2. With emotion and enthusiasm, read John 20:1-18.
  3. Pick an Old Testament account and show how it is fulfilled in the resurrection of Christ. For example, Jesus is the Passover lamb who frees his people from the slavery of sin.
  4. How does knowing the whole story of Scripture help us to understand the significance of Christ?
