THE PLACES OF EASTER OVERVIEW

WEEK 1: THE GARDEN
Bible: Matthew 26:36-46; Luke 22:43,44
Bottom Line: Praying is our way of communicating with God, and good communication involves taking time to listen instead of just talking.

WEEK 2: THE COURT
Bible: Matthew 26:57-68; Luke 22:54; Matthew 27:1,11-24; Romans 12:19
Bottom Line: It really hurts when people lie about us, but we don’t have to feel alone because Jesus understands. 

WEEK 3: THE CROSS
Bible: Mark 15:16-39; Matthew 27:51; Luke 23:39-43; Galatians 6:2; Psalm 22:18
Bottom Line: Trials are never easy to bear, but Jesus was willing to bear the cross and the shame that came with it.  We have to carry our crosses, too, and we have Him to help us.

WEEK 4: THE TOMB 
Bible: Matthew 28:1-10; Matthew 27:57-66; John 20:6-9; Romans 10:9
Bottom Line: Jesus defeated death and the grave just like He promised, so we can trust Him to keep His promises to us.
