Day 1- BURIED WITH THE RICH

Read Isaiah 53:9. Who would the Messiah be with in death?
Read Matthew 27:57-60. Who buried Jesus? Where did the rich man bury Jesus?
Things to know: Jesus was not rich and there was no way, considering His earthly family, He would have the means to be buried in a tomb. Tombs were the place where the rich were laid to rest. God put it on the heart of Joseph of Arimathea to give Jesus a new tomb where the rich men were buried.
How does God show that He is a God that can provide something that is needed?

MEMORIZE IT.

We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8

Day 2- THE MESSIAH WILL RESURRECT FROM DEATH (#8e9ebc BKG) (#ffffff Font)

Read Psalm 16:10 and Psalm 49:15
Where will God not abandon you to? The Messiah’s (faithful one) body will not see what?
Read Matthew 28:2-7
What did Jesus do three days after He died? Did His body see decay?
Read Acts 2:22-32. What does this verse say about Jesus’ resurrection?
How did Jesus fulfill the prophecy in the two verses in Psalms? How did God, through Jesus, not abandon His people to death?
Things to note: King David was the author of the Psalms you read above. He knew that He would die, but He also believed that God would provide the way for Him to overcome death. Jesus has provided a way for you to overcome death.

Day 3- THE MESSIAH WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN

Read Psalm 68:18. Where will the Messiah go to dwell?
Read Mark 16:19 and Luke 24:51
Things to think about: After Jesus resurrected, He spent about 50 days physically on earth with His disciples. Can you imagine how awesome those almost two months were with the resurrected Jesus? After the 50 days, Jesus ascended into heaven.
You are going to learn in the last months what He is doing up there.

Day 4- THE MESSIAH SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD

Read Psalm 110:1
Where does this verse say the Messiah will be seated?
Read Mark 16:19 and Romans 8:34
Where did Jesus go after He resurrected? What is Jesus doing for us?
Things to know: Jesus is literally sitting next to the Heavenly Father. They are in heaven together again. Jesus now has done all the work needed to save you. He is busy speaking to God on your behalf. If you believe in Jesus, God will no longer see you as a sinner; He will see you as righteous. Are you thankful that God sees you as righteous?

Day 5- THE MESSIAH WOULD BE A SACRIFICERead Isaiah 53:5-12
List all the things the Bible says the Messiah would experience or do
Read Romans 5:6-8. How did Jesus fulfill this prophecy? List all the ways.
What does this mean for your life? Do you believe Jesus sacrificed Himself for you?
If you are still unsure, get some time with someone who believes in Jesus and lives for Him. Ask them why they believe in Jesus. If you believe Jesus is your Savior, spend some time thanking Him for what He has done.
