Sunday School Remix: What If Easter Isn’t as Clear as We Think?

Apr 10, 2026    Nate Preisinger

What if the resurrection doesn’t tie everything up neatly, but actually disrupts how we understand God, faith, and even reality itself? In John 20, the story is full of confusion, questions, and unexpected encounters—and maybe that’s exactly the point.

What You’ll Learn:

Why belief in John’s Gospel is more about trust than certainty

How the resurrection story invites questions, not just answers

What it means that Mary “sees” Jesus but doesn’t recognize him
