Answer Key

                                                                             Jesus Christ - His Resurrection from the Dead

I.

1. A borrowed tomb.

2. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. (See John 19:38-39)

3. There was not sufficient time for burial preparation to take place, as the Sabbath was approaching. (Luke 23:50-56)

4. They had a guard placed at the tomb to ensure that no one could steal the body.

5. On Sunday morning, an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and rolled back the stone from the tomb and set upon it. The guards at the tomb were so frightened they
    became as dead men. Jesus was resurrected and left the tomb. The stone was not rolled away in order for Jesus to get out of the tomb, the stone was rolled away in order for
    witnesses to see that He had indeed, risen from the dead.

6. The religious leaders tried to cover their failed scheme by bribing the guards to say they went to sleep and while they were sleeping, that friends of Jesus had stolen the body.

7. Mary Magdalene.

8. That she was a woman inhabited by, influenced by and perhaps possessed by unclean spirits, in that the Lord Jesus Christ had cast seven demons out of her.

9. "He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead: and behold, he goeth before
     you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you." (Matthew 28: 6-7)

10. Mary Magdalene.

      (1) Subjective

      (2) Subjective

11. Peter and John.

12. Peter

13. It was the empty tomb that convinced Peter and possibly John, that Jesus had risen from the dead.

14. Both Peter and John returned to their homes but Mary stayed at the tomb, the last place she knew her Lord to be.

15.
      (1) To Mary Magdalene

       (2) To the two on the road Emmaus

       (3) It would appear to be to Simon Peter

       (4) To the disciples in the Upper Room in Jerusalem on the evening of His resurrection, at which meeting, Thomas was absent.

       (5) Later, to the disciples who would gather together and Thomas was present with them.

       (6) Apparently, to more than 500 brethren at one time

       (7) The disciples who were fishing with Simon Peter, as outlined in John 21:2-3

       (8) To Saul of Tarsus, who became Paul the Apostle, on the Road to Damascus. This account does not take into consideration the revelation of Jesus Christ on the Isle of
            Patmos, to John the Apostle.

16. Subjective.

17. Those who were present at the time that Jesus appeared in His resurrected body and breathed upon them the breath of God, received, at that time, the Holy Spirit. They would
      later receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

18. He was visible, could materialize or dematerialize, could pass through solid walls, could walk with other men in a visible form, yet remained unrecognized by them, He could eat
     and He could drink.

19. That Jesus, even in the light of Peter’s denial of Him, was willing to forgive him and restore him.

20. Subjective, but should incorporate the concept that Jesus was allowing Peter to know that he would die for the cause of the Kingdom of God.

21. That our primary concern in life should be to fulfill the mission and the ministry that Jesus gives us, and to follow Him with all of our heart; and not to be overly concerned about
      the call of God, mission and ministry of another brother in the Kingdom. We should so order our lives that we are sure that we fulfill the call of God on our life.
