In the most personal and poignant resurrection encounter in the gospels, Jesus appeared to Mary in the garden and revealed himself once he spoke aloud her name. The work of resurrection in us begins with recognizing our identity in Christ as a child of God, and then seeking to affirm the personhood of others who feel lost in their own grief and despair. Reflection Questions: 1. Why do you think Mary didn’t recognize the resurrected Jesus? 2. In what ways do you live out of your false self? 3. How can you allow God to help you rediscover and reveal your true self? Find out more at HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps…

In what ways has Jesus set you free from personal sins? 2. How does the two-fold understanding of biblical justice change your view of justice? 3. How is God calling you to be a part of setting people free from social injustice? Find out more at HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps…

Magrey reflects on his recent sermon, one of his most personal to date, sharing his own experiences with race and identity. They discuss how the cross calls us to both personal and collective transformation and how issues of race and justice are not just intellectual conversations but deeply human experiences.

Magrey also shares how his daughters have reshaped his understanding of identity and inclusion, reminding us that the work of justice is deeply personal, generational, and ongoing.

How can reading the Bible transform your life and deepen your relationship with God? Scripture has the power to illuminate our hearts and guide us in loving God and others. But to experience its full impact, we must make it a regular part of our lives—and even better, read it in community.

Which parts of the Bible tend to bring you fear or frustration, and how might a sense of curiosity transform your approach to those passages? 2. When you hear the metaphor of the Bible as a ‘gem,’ how does that shift the way you think about Scripture compared to seeing it as something rigid or unchanging? 3.
