My apologies for the lateness of this mailing and for the high percentage of reruns!
I have had a very busy week dealing with pastoral duties, therefore only one outline is totally new. Another is much more developed, so Ill count it as new.
However, I hope you can glean from some of the other Easter outlines that have been sent before and also appear on the website.

Luke 24:41a
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?
"And while they yet believed not for joy..."
Sometimes God presents things to us and we think that they are "too good to be true". The disciples thought that Jesus being alive was too good to be true and had trouble believing. There are some things that seem to be too good to be true, but are anyway.
REDEMPTION IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, BUT IT IS TRUE!
1 Peter 1:18-19, Romans 5:6-9
Jesus shed His blood on Calvary to redeem us!
REGENERATION IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, BUT IT IS TRUE!
John 3:1-7, John 1:12-13, 1 Peter 1:3, 23
Anyone who truly trusts Christ as Savior is "born again".
RESPONSIBILITY IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, BUT IT IS TRUE!
Matthew 28:19-20, Ephesians 4:11-12, 1 Peter 4:11-12
God has chosen to use us in his ministry. Some will be missionaries, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Others will be lay leaders in the church. All of us have a Spiritual gift to use, and all of us can be witnesses for Christ.
REWARDS ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, BUT THEY ARE TRUE!
1 Corinthians 4:5, 9:25, 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Thessalonians 2:19, 2 Timothy 4:8, James 1:12, 1 Peter 5:4, Revelation 2:10
Jesus will reward his faithful servants. What will we do with our crowns? We will lay them at the feet of Jesus!
Revelation 4:11-12
RESURRECTION IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, BUT IT IS TRUE!
1 Corinthians 15:20-28, 51-58 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
We will be risen from the dead!

John 21
IT SOUNDS FAMILIAR
A FAMILIAR SCENE - Vss. 1-3
Peter and some of the other disciples decided to return to the familiar haunts of the fishing boat.
And like other times in the past, there were no fish to be caught!
A FAMILIAR SOUND - Vss. 4-6
It was the voice of the Lord Jesus. He was inquiring as to their wellbeing. When they reply that they have no "meat", he tells them to cast the net on the other side of the boat. There is a great catch.
A FAMILIAR STORY - Vss. 7-12
It is Peter, who as usual, reacts spontaneously. He grabs his coat and puts it on. He grabs the net to bring it in. Then he and the other disciples are invited to join Jesus for breakfast!
A FAMILIAR SPOTLIGHT - Vss. 13-18
The spotlight is on Peter! It needed to be. Peter had publicly denied his Lord. He needed to publicly confess his Lord. He also needed to be publicly restored by Jesus so the other disciples will later follow his leadership.
