Romans 8 is one of the most radical expressions of joy that you can find, and it's all based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When the resurrection lands on your mind and your heart, this joy goes to work in your life, connecting you to God's own love now and forever.

1. Why do you think Jesus did or did not rise from the dead? What difference does that make to your daily life?
2. How do you handle feelings of guilt, shame, and condemnation? Do you think the message of Easter offers a better way?
3. How do you handle adversity, suffering, and the reality of death? How could that change if the message of Easter is true?
