by Pastor Chip Dean
Your life is defined by your reaction to the Gospel.
Your eternity depends on your reaction to the Gospel.
1. CONFUSED
Luke 24:1-4

2. SEEK
Luke 24:4-6
behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.
3. FORGET
Luke 24:6-7

4. DISBELIEVE
Luke 24:8-11
And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.
5. MARVEL
Luke 24:12
But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
