Did the Wise Men think they were looking at an actual star when they first saw it in the sky at night? What about when it disappeared from their sight? What about when it reappeared to them and starting moving? Eventually, they must have figured out that this "star" was not a typical star at all!

We take a look at the inn of Bethlehem, the place where Mary and Joseph were turned away when they arrived from Nazareth. That inn dates all the way back to the time of David. Jeremiah mentions it. And it has a message to tell!

Jesus' birth fulfilled many Old Testament prophecies, including the one that declared He would be born of a virgin. It is the biggest and most important prophecy, promise and miracle of the Bible!

The apostle John says it was dark when the women headed to Jesus' tomb on resurrection morning. He was intentional in using the specific Greek word for "dark." Why? Because he wanted us to connect the dots to the darkness of the first day of creation from Genesis. How do they connect? Listen and find out!

Peter ran to the tomb, but he walked from it. Even though it was empty, he still struggled with the idea that Jesus risen. He knew something had happened there that would change everything, but he wasn't all-in yet.

It seems hard to believe now that the disciples did not remember that Jesus had told them quite clearly that He would be put to death and on the third day He would rise again. None of the women who went to the tomb early on that first resurrection morning remember either. But as hard as it is to believe, it is true. So, what was their problem? Would you have remembered if it had been you who heard Jesus say it?

The angel at the tomb had an announcement to make to the women that morning, and a reminder. The announcement was one of joy, certainly. But what about the reminder? Did the angel phrase it as a "bless your heart" gentle prompting, or did he raise his voice in a stern rebuke because they had to be reminded of perhaps the most important thing Jesus had ever told them?

When you come to Jesus' tomb expecting to find a dead body, but find an angel instead who proclaims that He is risen, He is alive, it would be only natural to feel overwhelmed by it all. The women at the tomb that day ran back to Jerusalem with an important message, which made them tremble, and which bewildered them.

Matthew talked about the Roman soldiers, Luke gave us the Emmaus Road, John told us about Mary Magdalene meeting Jesus in person, and Mark very intentionally wants us to know that even Peter needed to hear about Jesus' resurrection. Why Peter in particular? Let's find out!
