Our Resurrection
Daniel 12:1-4 – New International Version (NIV)
1 “At that time Michael, the great prince who
protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has
not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your
people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to
everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine
like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness,
like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until
the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
Who will arise “at that time” (verse 1)?
What will the “multitudes who sleep” awaken to (verse 2)?
Who will “shine like the brightness of the heavens” (verse 3)?
How will “those who lead many to righteousness” shine (verse
3)?
What will people “go here and there” to do (verse 4)?

Matthew 22:23-33 - New International
Version (NIV)
23 That same day the
Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses
told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the
widow and raise up offspring for him. 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and
died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the
second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died.
28 Now then, at the resurrection,
whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
29 Jesus replied, “You are in
error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will
neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
31 But about the resurrection of
the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the
living.”
33 When the crowds heard
this, they were astonished at his teaching.
What do the Sadducees “say” (verse
23)?
Who was supposed to marry the widow of a man with no children (verse 24)?
How many brothers
married the woman and did not have any children (verses 25 and 26)?
In your opinion, why would the
Sadducees ask who would be the widow’s husband “at the resurrection” (verse
28)?
Why were the
Sadducees “in error” (verse 29)?
Who will
people be like “at the resurrection” (verse 30)?
What had God
said “about the resurrection of the dead” (verses 31 and 32)?
Who is God
the God of (verse 32)?
What “astonished”
the crowds (verse 33)?
In your opinion, what is the basic message of this passage?
In your
opinion, what does this passage teach us about our resurrection?
In your

knowledge that Daniel 12:1-4 says many will seek can be found?
1 Corinthians 15:35-44 - New International Version (NIV)
35 But someone will ask, “How are
the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” 36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37 When you sow, you do not plant
the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
38 But God gives it a body as he
has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same:
People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish
another. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but
the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the
earthly bodies is another. 41 The sun has one kind of
splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in
splendor.
42 So will it be with the
resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised
imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in
weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it
is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
What will “someone” ask (verse 35)?
When does what is sowed come “to life” (verse 36)?
What is not planted “when you sow” (verse 37)?
Who determines the body that a seed will have (verse 38)?
What is not the same (verse 39)?
How do heavenly bodies and earthly bodies differ (verse
40)?
How is the body that is sown perishable raised (verse 42)?
How is the body that is sown in weakness raised (verse 43)?
How is the body that is sown as a natural body raised
(verse 44)?
In your opinion,
what is the basic message of this passage?

resurrection?

understand about the awakening of those that Daniel 12:1-4 says “sleep in
the dust”?
In your opinion, how does 1 Corinthians 15:35-44 help us
understand the resurrection that Jesus explained in Matthew 22:23-33?
2 Timothy 2:14-21 - New International Version (NIV)
14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God
against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who
listen. 15 Do your best to present
yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and
who correctly handles the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless chatter, because
those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like
gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have departed from the
truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy
the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this
inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses
the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver,
but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common
use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves
from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to
the Master and prepared to do any good work.
What is Timothy to warn “God’s people” about (verse 14)?
What does Paul want Timothy to “correctly” handle
(verse 15)?
Who becomes “more and more ungodly” (verse 16)?
What lie are Hymenaeus and Philetus spreading that is
destroying “the faith of some” (verse 18?
How does “God’s solid foundation” stand (verse 19)?
What must “everyone who confesses the name of the Lord”
do (verse 19)?
How can the uses of articles in a large house be divided (verse
20)?
Who will be “instruments for special purposes”
(verse 21)?
In your opinion, what is the basic message of this passage?
In your opinion, what does this passage teach us about our
resurrection?
In your opinion, how
does 2 Timothy 2:14-21 explain what we need to do to avoid being those who
Daniel 12:1-4 says are awakened to “shame and everlasting contempt”?
In your opinion, how is the importance of “God’s solid
foundation” demonstrated by the different lies about the resurrection told by
the Sadducees in Matthew 22:23-33 and by Hymenaeus and Philetus in 2 Timothy
2:14-2?
In your opinion, does the cleansing to be “instruments
for special purposes” that 2 Timothy 2:14-21 talks about only apply to the
resurrection body that 1 Corinthians 15:35-44 talks about, or does it also
apply to the perishable natural body we have prior to resurrection?
In your
opinion, what do these passages from Daniel, Matthew, 1 Corinthians, and 2
Timothy teach us about the ways that resurrection can be attacked by the world?
In
your opinion, how do we present ourselves to God as one approved today?
