InLighten Films© is a series of scripted and documentary shorts based on scripture. In addition to original films, there are discussion questions and often bonus extras.

A Message to Deliver is based on MATTHEW 28:110
1 After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, “He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.” 8 So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. Will Willimon shared his great concern in delivering Principal Harrelson’s message. How did his fear in delivering a message parallel that of the women at the tomb?

2. What are other examples in the Bible where God asks people to deliver a message?

3. Will Willimon delivered a message and in the process discovered a calling. The women at the tomb were asked to deliver a message, and in so doing played an integral role in spreading the news of Jesus’ resurrection. Is there anything you feel called to do today?
