This morning I read the Bible text of Christian Light Publication’s Sunday School lesson for April 24, 2011. Here are some excerpts from Mark 15:42—16:11…

Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God…

And he…took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre…

Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here…

He appeared first to Mary Magdalene…

And they, when they had heard that that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

Jesus’ death — how do I know it wasn’t history’s greatest scam?

Is it true that God died once upon a time?

What a beautiful Divine witness of Joseph of Arimathaea! Makes me wonder again: What is God’s witness of me?

According to the Scriptures, what should be my response to this historical event?

“And when the sabbath was past…” — what might be the theological and practical truth(s) revealed in that statement?

What makes prayer successful?

What makes prayer worth the while?

The effectual fervent prayer
of a righteous man availeth much.

Elias was a man subject to
like passions as we are,
and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain:
and it rained not on the earth
by the space of three years and six months.

James 5:16-18

If you are a praying person, what keeps you at it?

If you aren’t, what keeps you from it?
