Day 6 - SL 40 Days
Day 6:
The Empty Tomb was discovered by women. As we learned earlier, the Empty Tomb is a pivotal moment for our faith as if the tomb was not empty, then our faith would be in vain. But the Gospel writers report that it was women who discovered it and a woman’s testimony was hardly considered credible during that time based on the criterion of embarrassment. This shows that the Gospel writers were far more concerned about reporting the truth more than they were about whether people would believe it or not.
Questions:
- Can you think of any other moments in the Bible that would fit the Criterion of Embarrassment?
- Do you have anything in your private life that may be “embarrassing” that you need to bring to God?
- What's one specific thing you're going to do differently this week because of what you've read?
- Close out the week by praying and thanking God for one specific thing He showed you. Then ask Him to help you actually live it out — not just remember it.
