Consolidating the Easter Story from the Gospels
- The story of Easter is told in all four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—each providing unique details.
When combined, the narrative unfolds as follows:
Leading up to this Jesus has basically declared himself to be the messiah. Tension is at an all time high and the Jews and Pharisees want him dead. He’s basically public enemy #1.
- The Last Supper – Jesus shares a final meal with his disciples, instituting the practice of communion (Luke 22:19-20).
- Betrayal and Arrest – Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, leading to his arrest (Matthew 26:47-56)
- Trials and Sentencing – Jesus is tried before the Jewish Sanhedrin, then taken to the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who ultimately orders his crucifixion (John 18:28-40).
- The Crucifixion – Jesus is scourged, nailed to a cross, and dies after several hours (Mark 15:25-37).
- The Burial – Joseph of Arimathea, a secret follower of Jesus, buries his body in a tomb (Luke 23:50-56).
- The Resurrection – On the third day, the tomb is found empty, and Jesus appears to his followers (Matthew 28:1-10, John 20:11-18).
While the core events remain the same, each Gospel provides variations in details, reflecting different perspectives and theological emphases.
Crucifixion in Roman Culture
- 1. Purpose and Use
- Crucifixion was reserved for the worst criminals, slaves, traitors, and rebels—those deemed threats to Roman authority.
- It was not used for Roman citizens, as it was considered too shameful and cruel for them.
- The goal was not just execution but public humiliation, ensuring that others feared opposing the empire.
- 2. The Process of Crucifixion
-
- A. Scourging (Flogging) Before Crucifixion
- Victims were subjected to brutal flogging using a flagrum—leather cords embedded with bone or metal.
- Flesh was torn, muscles exposed, causing extreme blood loss and shock.
- Many victims died from the flogging alone.
-
- B. Carrying the Cross
- The condemned carried the patibulum (horizontal beam, 75–125 lbs).
- This exhausted and humiliated the victim.
-
- C. The Crucifixion Process
- Victims were nailed (typically through wrists and feet) or tied to the cross.
- They were then lifted onto the vertical post.
- Death usually occurred by asphyxiation due to hanging.
- Breaking of Legs (Crurifragium): Hastened death by preventing the victim from pushing up to breathe.
- Spear to the Side: Confirmed death (John 19:34).
Jesus and Crucifixion Practices:
- Jesus was scourged (Matthew 27:26).
- He carried the cross.
- His side was pierced.
- Legs were not broken.
The Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus
- The Old Testament contains numerous prophecies that Christians believe were fulfilled by Jesus' death and resurrection.
- These prophecies were written centuries before his birth, and their fulfillment is a cornerstone of Christian theology.
Key Prophecies and Their Fulfillment:
- The Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53: 1-12)
- Verses 1-3: "Why have you forsaken me?"
(Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34)
- Verses 7-8: Mocked by onlookers
(Matthew 27:39-44; Mark 15:29-32)
- Verses 14-18: "They have pierced my hands and my feet", "They divide my garments" (John 19:23-24)
- Micah 5:2 – Born in Bethlehem

JESUS FULFILLED OVER 351 PROPHECIES!
📖 https://www.newtestamentchristians.com/bible-study-resources/351-old-testament-prophecies-fulfilled-in-jesus-christ/
Addressing Skepticism
“They could have staged the donkey and Judas!”
But what about:
- His birthplace?
- Virgin birth?
- Casting lots over his clothes?
- His heart melting like wax?
- Being given vinegar?
Peter Stoner’s Calculations
- One person fulfilling 8 prophecies = 1 in 100 quadrillion.
- Texas with silver dollars 2 ft deep… pick the marked one blindfolded.
THAT'S THE ODDS!
The Resurrection and Its Aftermath
The resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith, signifying Jesus' victory over death. According to the Gospels, the resurrection unfolded as follows:
- The Empty Tomb:
Women followers, including Mary Magdalene, discover that Jesus’ body is missing (Mark 16:1-8).
- Post-Resurrection Appearances:
Jesus appears to various disciples, including two travelers on the road to Emmaus and later to Thomas, who initially doubts but then believes (John 20:24-29).
- The Great Commission:
Before ascending to heaven, Jesus instructs his disciples to spread his teachings to all nations (Matthew 28:18-20).
The resurrection transformed the early disciples from fearful followers into bold preachers, ultimately leading to the rapid spread of Christianity. Whether viewed as a literal event or a powerful metaphor, its impact on world history is undeniable.

PRAYER
PART 2: JESUS’S FORGIVENESS IN HIS DARKEST MOMENT
Betrayed. Denied. Rejected. Forsaken. Yet, He Forgave.
- Betrayed by a friend –
Judas, one of His twelve disciples, sold Him for 30 pieces of silver (Matthew 26:14-16).
- Denied by Peter –
One of His closest followers, Peter, denied Him three times when He needed him most (Luke 22:54-62).
- Rejected by His own people –
The Jewish leaders and many in the community who once welcomed Him as the Messiah turned on Him.
- They accused Him of blasphemy for claiming to be the Son of God (John 10:33).
- The same crowd that shouted "Hosanna" as He entered Jerusalem later cried out, “Crucify Him!” (Matthew 27:22-23).
- Instead of accepting the truth, they chose Barabbas, a known criminal, over Jesus (Matthew 27:15-26).
- Forsaken by God – At His lowest moment, Jesus cried out:
- “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46).
- This was the fulfillment of Psalm 22, prophesying the Messiah’s suffering.
- Yet even as He hung there, tortured and abandoned, His response was:
- “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34).
- If Jesus could forgive in that moment, how can we hold onto unforgiveness in ours?
PART 3: THE COMMAND TO FORGIVE
Forgiveness = Obedience
- Colossians 3:13 –
"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
- Matthew 6:14-15 –
Jesus says that if we don’t forgive others, God won’t forgive us.
Releasing the Offender = Freeing Yourself
- Forgiveness does NOT mean excusing sin.
- It means giving up the right to seek revenge.
- It means releasing the offender from the debt
- It’s not about fairness—it’s about faith.
"Forgiveness is for our benefit – it frees us.
As Hebrews 12:15 reminds us, 'See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.' Holding onto bitterness only harms us, but when we choose to forgive, we release the burden and walk in God's grace."
- Forgiveness isn’t saying what they did was okay.
It’s saying YOU won’t let it control you anymore.
PART 4: GOD'S RADICAL FORGIVENESS
Biblical Stories of God Forgiving at Our Lowest
- Peter’s Denial → Jesus’ Restoration (John 21:15-19)
- Peter abandoned Jesus, yet Jesus met him with love, not condemnation.
- “Feed my sheep.” Jesus didn’t shame him—He gave him purpose.
- The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)
- A son wastes his father’s wealth in sin but is welcomed home with open arms.
- God isn’t waiting to punish us—He’s waiting to embrace us.
- David’s Sin (2 Samuel 11-12, Psalm 51)
- Adultery, murder, deception… yet when David repented, God forgave him.
- “Create in me a clean heart, O God.” (Psalm 51:10)
Closing Thoughts (5 minutes)A Final Challenge:
Who do you need to forgive today?
- Not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace.
- Not because they’ve earned it, but because Jesus forgave you freely.

PART 1:
WHY WE STRUGGLE WITH FORGIVENESS
Defining Forgiveness
- Forgiveness is a powerful and deeply personal act that allows individuals to release resentment and anger toward those who have wronged them.
- According to Webster’s Dictionary, forgiveness is defined as “the act of forgiving; the state of being forgiven; the disposition or willingness to forgive.
- ”Many believe forgiveness is about the other person, but in reality, forgiveness is for you. Holding onto bitterness or anger can weigh you down mentally, emotionally, and physically. It does not mean excusing the wrongdoing or forgetting the pain—
- it means choosing to free yourself from the burden of past hurts.
BIBLICAL MEANING OF FORGIVENESS
- In Matthew 18:15-17 NKJV, Jesus instructs that if a brother sins against you, you should first go and tell him his fault between the two of you alone. If he listens, you have gained your brother; if not, take one or two others with you, and if he refuses to listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or a tax collector.
- Forgiveness = Letting go of sin
- In the Bible, forgiveness is about releasing others from their debts against us, just as God released us through Christ.
- Romans 8:1 – "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
"Why Is It So Hard to Forgive?
- Fear of being hurt again.
- Fear of looking weak.
- Fear of them not facing justice.
- It feels like we’re letting them off the hook.
Romans 12: 14-21
- 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
- 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
- 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
- 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012&version=NKJV#fen-NKJV-28263e] regard for good things in the sight of all men.
- 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
- 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
- 20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
- 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
But, what if unforgiveness is actually keeping you on the hook?What Happens When You Hold a Grudge? (Science & Health Effects)
- Increases stress hormones (cortisol), leading to anxiety, depression, and even weight gain.
- Higher risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.
- Weakened immune system, making you more prone to illness.
- Poor sleep, digestive issues, and chronic pain.
- Bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
What Forgiveness Does for Your Body & Mind
- Lowers stress and improves mental clarity.
- Releases dopamine and serotonin, boosting happiness.
- Strengthens your heart and immune system.
- Leads to longer life expectancy.
The Bible confirms this truth:
- Proverbs 17:22 – “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
- Isaiah 26:3 – “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”
Matthew 18:21-35
The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
- 21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
- 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
- 23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
- 24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
- 25 But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made.
- 26 The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’
- 27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
- 28 “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
- 29 So his fellow servant fell down [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2018%3A21-35&version=NKJV#fen-NKJV-23757a]at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2018%3A21-35&version=NKJV#fen-NKJV-23757b]all.’
- 30 And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt.
- 31 So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done.
- 32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
- 33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’
- 34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.
- 35 “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2018%3A21-35&version=NKJV#fen-NKJV-23763c]his trespasses.”

9 And I say to you, that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
📖 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 (NKJV)
3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.
4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

Now lets look at the BIBLICAL foundations for a relationshipIntroduction
- Embracing a New Creation in Christ:
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV):
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
- Purpose of Godly Relationships:
Emphasize that dating and courtship are meant to honor God and pursue holiness.
1. Biblical Foundations for Relationships
- Purity and Holiness:
1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 (NKJV):
“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.”
- Commitment in Love:
Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (NKJV):
“Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm;
For love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it.”
- God’s Love as Our Model:
1 John 4:9-11 (NKJV):
“In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
2. Practical Guidelines for Dating and Courtship
- Establishing Boundaries:
- Fleeing Temptation and Pursuing Godliness:
2 Timothy 2:22 (NKJV):
“Flee also youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
- Guarding Against Sexual Immorality:
1 Corinthians 6:18 (NKJV):
“Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who sins sexually, sins against his own body.”
- Accountability & Avoiding Temptation:
1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV):
“There has not been any temptation that is not common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”
- Communication and Mutual Growth:
Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV):
“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”
- Go to church together
- Pray together
- Read your bible together
Transitioning to MarriageTHE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE
Marriage is not merely a legal or formal union but a sacred covenant between two individuals, established by God. Historically—and in many jurisdictions—this covenant has been understood as the union between a man and a woman.
Key Verse:
Mark 10:6–9 (NKJV)
6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
7 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
8 and the two shall become one flesh”; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.
THE NATURE OF A BIBLICAL MARRIAGE
A biblical marriage is a God-ordained institution—a divine covenant—not merely a government contract or a cultural arrangement. Its nature remains constant even though ceremonies may change over time.
Key Verse:
Genesis 2:18–24 (NKJV)
18 And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
19 Now out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 Then the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 And the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23 Then Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman,” because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
DREW AND CHRIS TALK ABOUT HOW THEY DID IT BACKWARDS
CHARACTERISTICS OF A BIBLICAL MARRIAGE
- FAITHFULNESS
A biblical marriage is built on unwavering faithfulness and sacrificial love.
- 1 Cor 13:4-7
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
- Proverbs 3:3–4 (NKJV)
Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, So that you will find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
2 Corinthians 6:14
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what [communion has light with darkness?

Here’s an outline for "The Opposite of a Godly Marriage", which explores a dysfunctional, unhealthy, and ungodly relationship:Introduction
- Define a godly marriage (built on love, faith, respect, and commitment).
- Introduce the opposite: a marriage lacking these qualities, leading to dysfunction and brokenness.
- Explain the purpose—understanding what makes a marriage ungodly helps avoid these pitfalls.
1. Lack of Spiritual Foundation
- No shared faith or spiritual guidance.
- Prioritizing worldly desires over biblical principles.
- Disregard for prayer, church, or biblical teachings in the relationship.
2. Absence of Love and Respect
- Selfishness instead of selfless love (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 as a contrast).
- Constant criticism, belittling, or lack of appreciation.
- Emotional neglect and lack of kindness.
3. Poor Communication and Conflict Resolution
- Frequent arguments filled with anger and resentment.
- No willingness to listen or understand each other.
- Use of manipulation, silent treatment, or passive-aggressive behavior.
4. Infidelity and Broken Trust
- Emotional or physical affairs.
- Dishonesty and deceit as a pattern in the relationship.
- Inability to forgive or rebuild trust.
5. Disregard for Biblical Roles and Responsibilities
- No servant-hearted leadership from the husband (Ephesians 5:25).
- No respect or support from the wife (Ephesians 5:22-24).
- Viewing marriage as a competition instead of a partnership.
6. Lack of Commitment and Covenant Mindset
- Viewing marriage as temporary or disposable.
- Threatening divorce as a manipulation tactic.
- No willingness to work through difficulties.
7. Worldly Influence Over Biblical Guidance
- Prioritizing culture, social media, or friends over God's Word.
- Seeking personal happiness over godly obedience.
- Justifying sin rather than repenting and growing together.
1 Corinthians 6:16 (NKJV)“Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For ‘the two,’ He says, ‘shall become one flesh.’”
8. Unhealthy Family and Parenting Dynamics
- Using children as pawns in conflicts.
- Inconsistent or absent parenting.
- Setting a poor example of love, faith, and commitment.
Conclusion
- Recap the key elements of an ungodly marriage.
- Encourage self-reflection and the pursuit of a Christ-centered marriage.
- Offer hope: redemption is possible through repentance and God’s grace.
