If you are in Year 3-6, look out for a your own copy of the Gospel of Mark in the mail - to read, re-read & highlight.

Gospel of Mark Cards

Each week, we are going to learn a bit more about who Jesus is. In the set of cards, there are 4 cards that relate to each week (2 duplicates). Can you find them? Using the stand, you could display one of the cards each week to remember, or even use the cards to play a game of snap or memory.

ST BART’S KIDS SUNDAY

Jesus the SAVIOUR ,

It was 3 days after Jesus had been crucified,

Some women, including Mary Magdalene, were

on their way to the tomb.

They were going to prepare Jesus’ body for

burial.

 They wondered who was going to roll the stone away from the tomb.

EARLY CHILDHOOD

But when they looked up, they saw it had

already been moved!

 They entered the tomb and saw a man dressed

in a white robe.

 “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus but he is not

here. He is risen!

 Go and tell his disciples that Jesus is going to

Galilee. ST BART’S KIDS on SUNDAYS \\ October 4, 2020 2

 The women were

shaking and confused. They went out and ran away from the tomb.

They said nothing to anyone, because they

were afraid. Mark 12:1-8

been rolled away.

5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a

young man dressed in a white robe.

They were afraid.

6 “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the

Nazarene, who was crucified. But he

has risen! He is not here!

‘Jesus is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him. It will be just as he told you.’ ”

stone was very large. 5 They entered the tomb. As they did, they saw a

young man dressed in a white robe. He was sitting on the right side. They were

alarmed.

St Bart’s Kids Small Group Session Outline

Main Point: Jesus is our Saviour, because he defeated death and rose to life again.

Discussion Questions Read Mark 16:1-3 from the Bible Story (page 1)1. Why were the women going to a tomb? (On Friday before, Jesus was killed on a cross. They were going to anoint Jesus’

body. This is not like the Egyptians embalming - but using spices for fragrance, to show how much they loved Jesus.)

2. What do you think they expected to find? (They expected to find Jesus’ body.)

3. Where are the 12 disciples? (Nowhere to be found. There weren’t even around to help roll the stone away. These women watched as Jesus was crucified and died, and saw where he was buried. They were the first to the tomb in the morning.)

4. Did Jesus’ disciples expect that Jesus would die? (Jesus told the disciples three times that he would suffer, be rejected, killed, and three days later rise again. But even though Jesus told them what would happen, they didn’t really understand. This was not how they thought Jesus would defeat the enemy.)

Read Mark 16:4-8 from the Bible Story (pages 2-3)5. What clues do we get that this is not a human scheme, but God’s plan? (The heavy stone is already rolled away, and the

women are greeted by an angel, and Jesus’ body is nowhere to be found. Women are also the first eye witnesses - which is very surprising as women were never used as witnesses by Jewish people.)

6. What does Jesus’ resurrection mean? (Resurrection means that God raised Jesus from the dead. His resurrection is the defeat of evil and death forever. The disciples wanted Jesus to defeat Rome, but Jesus defeats evil forever. He is the true Saviour. His resurrection also gives us a glimpse into what our future with Jesus will be like. Just as Jesus has a resurrected body, that is what we will have too.)

7. What difference does it make to you that Jesus rose from the dead? (This means that we love and follow a living God. Jesus is not dead - he is alive!)

8. If a friend asked you ‘Who is Jesus?’, what would you say?

9. What have you learned this series, that is going to change how you follow Jesus? (It would be helpful if team also share what they have learned. In our Mark series we have explored how Jesus is the forgiver, healer, grower, King, Messiah, Son, judge, ransom, teacher, Saviour.)
