WHY ARE YOUR SURPRISED?

-






Last week I shared Scriptures about 
the events involved in the Crucifixion 
and the Resurrection. I enjoyed sharing
my Bible study discoveries.

But I was puzzled about something at
the end of my study. Why were Mary, mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and 
the Disciples perplexed about Jesus’
Resurrection?



LIFE LESSON:



WITNESSES OF MIRACLES BUT SURPRISED
THE @ RESURRECTION!






MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS




Mary, mother of Jesus experienced a supernatural pregnancy. Simeon had
also shared details about Jesus. She
had seen Jesus turn water into wine. 
The visits from angels alerted Mary
about Jesus' supernatural power. 
 











LUKE 1:30-32





30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.



31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and 
bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.
 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the 

Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.


 

LUKE 2:33-35



33 And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him.

34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against

35 (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”




JOHN 2:3 & 9

3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They 
have no wine.”

9 When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.









LIFE LESSON:

MARY EXPECTS JESUS TO BE IN TOMB



MARK 16: 1


Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, 
and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.



 

MATTHEW 28:5-6


5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 

LIFE LESSON:


MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS, BELIEVES!

I'm not judging Mary, mother of Jesus.
She witnessed her son being crucified.
One of the disciples had to take her 
to his home.  She may have also been
so grief-stricken that she could not phantom an empty tomb. 







JOHN 19:26-27
26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!”  
27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.


 
The important thing is she did believe
the report of the angel. She also saw
Jesus herself when she was going to 
see the disciples.



 





MATTHEW 28:7-10 

 


7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”
8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.
10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore ...

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now ...

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to u...
