How can we respond to the risen Jesus?

v32 “They heard Paul talk about the dead being raised. Some of them made fun of this idea.”

1. Get active

Follow the leader

Put on your favorite music. Run around in a circle.

One person is the leader and uses hand claps to communicate instructions:

• One clap–plank
• Two claps–two mountain-climbers
• Three claps–three squats

Change leaders after one minute.

See video of Follow the Leader:

2. Rest and talk

What is true but seemed quite unbelievable the first time you heard it?

3. Read Acts 17:31-34

4. Discuss

• Why is this account of Jesus so difficult to accept? 
• What two responses did people have to Paul’s ideas about Jesus? What is your response?
• Describe the responses people have today to this "good news" about Jesus.

Chat to God: Thank you Lord that you sent Jesus to seek us out. He died in our place to show us the love God has for us as His children. Thank you that Jesus proved He is the Lord of life by rising again after He died on the cross.
