Question #2
'Who are you looking for?' (John 20:15)
This is the question Jesus asked Mary Magdalene as she looked into the empty tomb of Christ. She had heard that Jesus had come back, that He really is God, and that all His promises must be true. Yet...someone coming back from the dead??? So even with Jesus standing right in front of her, she didn't recognize Him.

Who are you looking for? Did you know Jesus stands before you at this very moment with the offer of salvation? Or do you doubt this truth because it seems so impossible? Maybe you are at the empty tomb of Jesus, ready to give your life to the One who can truly fulfill you, but you are still looking for that in someone or something else. A boyfriend or girlfriend. A future career. An academic award. A sports achievement.

Who do you say Jesus is?
Who are you looking for?
It's time for your Moment of Truth.

Head: What you need to know about this truth
The most important questions we can ever answer are who we believe Jesus to be, and whether or not we will trust Him with our lives.

Heart: What you need to feel about this truth
Don't let yourself get distracted by all the other questions being thrown your way. If you turn to the Lord Jesus Christ and trust Him with this life and the life to come, your past is forgiven, your present is loved, and your future is secure!

Hands: What you need to do about this truth
Write out your answers to the two questions and share them with a friend this week.
