      Lesson 1 for Week of April 1, 2018

      A PROMISE KEPT

      UNIFYING TOPIC:

      He Has Risen

      LESSON TEXT

      I. Remembering the Promise (Luke 24:1–8)

      II. Questioning the Promise (Luke 24:9–12)

      III. Seeing the Promise (Luke 24:30–35)

      THE MAIN THOUGHT

      Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. (Luke 24:34, KJV)

      UNIFYING PRINCIPLE

      People often question the promises of their leaders. How can they come to have assurance in the midst of doubt? In the breaking of bread and making Himself known to His disciples, the risen Christ kept His promises.

      LESSON AIM

      To explore details of the resurrection story as a promise both made and kept by Jesus.

      LIFE AIM

      To help students understand the promised death and resurrection of Jesus as a promise with eternal benefits for the people of God.

      BEFORE YOU TEACH
      Consider . . .

      Focus for College and Career — Young adults may struggle with understanding how biblical promises relate to their daily lives. They may see Jesus’ death and resurrection as a promise concerning life after death, but not as a promise concerning life before death.

      Focus for Adult Christian Life — Older adults may have already experienced what God’s promises mean and look like in their own lives, but may still struggle with the waiting periods of promises which have yet to be fulfilled. Though they know God’s promises to be true and His Word sure, they may still struggle with bouts of doubt and fear.

      Supplementary Study Materials

      For further reference, see today’s lesson from Boyd’s Commentary, New National Baptist Hymnal, 21st Century Edition, #142 (NNBH #84), and God’s Promises Bible.

      TEACHING STEPS . . .

      First Step: Before class, use the notes gleaned from God’s Word in Life to prepare a class opener. Write your plans down in the section labeled My Plan to Introduce the Lesson. While reading through the Exposition, use the provided space to note things you want to discuss and/or to create a personal lesson plan. Suggested questions and/or ideas may be found in the Connect with Learners boxes throughout the lesson.

      Second Step: When class begins, after completing Suggested Opening Exercises, open the lesson with your My Plan to Introduce the Lesson content. Consider discussing how and why people often struggle with God’s promises in their lives.

      Third Step: Ask someone to read today’s Bible passage. Then, read respective openers. For Adult Christian Life (ACL) read the Intro. For College and Career (CC) read Let’s Get Started.

      Fourth Step: Continue into the Lesson. Use Connect with Learners, Lesson Steps, and any personal notes recorded in Notes sections to guide your teaching. Allow space for questions and reflection.

      Fifth Step: End the class with a preview of the coming class. Close with prayer.

      God’s Word in Life

      The resurrection of Jesus was a promise kept that affected the lives of the disciples in major life-altering and heart-pumping ways. Does it still do that today? This morning, as we celebrate Easter, we will join many others in proclaiming, The Lord is risen indeed! However, like the disciples in today’s lesson, we, too, have a choice as to what we do with, and beyond, this proclamation. Do we believe its implications? The promised resurrection of Jesus is a promise kept that reassures us when we are down. That is to say, when we are consumed with hopelessness and despair, we can get up because Jesus got up! Because of the finiteness of our human nature, we sometimes go through a cycle of forgetting and doubting God’s promises. But the fulfillment of God’s promises in the past assures us of fulfillment of God’s promises for today. †

      Connect with Learners: Ask participants to list examples of the consequences experienced when people place trust in themselves, other people, or things like finances and jobs. Encourage both personal and biblical examples.

      Introduction

      How is it that with little to no doubt we can place our trust in things that only mildly guarantee a return? We trust our jobs to provide checks in exchange for work, social security to supply financial means at the end of our careers, and family and friends to surround us during times of distress. When those things falter and do not go the way we anticipated, we often lose hope. We forget the enduring promises of God, the examples throughout Scripture of how those promises have been kept, and the evidence of how those promises interact with our daily lives. In short, we lose sight of God’s truth. In today’s lesson, you will be sharing with your students the story of how disciples of Jesus struggled with the promise Jesus made concerning His death and resurrection.

      NOTES

      I. Remembering the Promise (Luke 24:1–8)

      At the end of Luke 23 (vv. 50–56), Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for Jesus’ body. Though Joseph was a member of the counsel that conspired to crucify Jesus, Joseph did not agree with the counsel’s decisions and actions concerning Jesus: Joseph waited expectantly for the Kingdom of God. With Joseph were several women from Galilee who wanted to see where Jesus’ body would be laid. They followed Joseph to the tomb, then returned home to prepare spices and perfumes to anoint the body. This was customary to prevent odor of the deceased. Though we can consider the women’s desire to anoint Jesus’ body an act of love, it was also an act displaying their disbelief and forgetfulness of the promise of resurrection. Preparing to anoint Jesus’ body to avoid odor meant an expectation that Jesus would remain dead in the tomb.

      He did not, however. When the women returned to the tomb early in the morning, the day after Sabbath, the women found the stone had been rolled away and Jesus’ body no longer where it had been laid. The women responded to the discovery of an empty tomb with complete bewilderment: they were perplexed, our passage says (v. 4, KJV). In the original Greek language, to be perplexed means to be without resources; to know not what to do (Ethelbert William Bullinger, Perplexed, in A Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament[London: Longmans, Green, & Co., 1908] 582). In other words, in response to the empty tomb the women were at a loss for what to do, what to think, or what to believe.

      The women needed to be reminded that they were not without resources; they did, indeed, know what to do, what to think, and what to believe. Two men in shining garments (described as a single angel in Matt. 28:2 and 5, and as a young man in Mark 16:5) said to the women: Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again (vv. 5–7, KJV). And the women remembered Jesus’ promise.

      Connect with Learners: Invite participants to talk about hopes and dreams that have been dashed or gone unfulfilled.

      II. Questioning the Promise (Luke 24:9–12)

      Luke, on one hand, led us to believe that the disciples took the testimony of the women as foolish talk: they believed them not (v. 11, KJV). The temple leaders, meanwhile, paid a large sum of money to the guards at the tomb to report Jesus’ body as stolen (see Matt. 28:11–15). So, the disciples considering the women’s testimony idle tales would have sat well with the temple leaders.

      On the other hand, Luke displayed encouragement through pointing out Peter’s response. Peter’s instincts caused him to ignore his fellow disciples’ dismissal of the women’s testimony and to go to the tomb to see for himself. We can assume Peter felt the need to do his own examination into what was true and what was idle tales—as Christians are still encouraged to do today (see, for example, Rom. 12:2, 2
