Sunday Morning Podcast | The Moody Church

Cognitive dissonance is the influx of intellectual disequilibrium. In other words, when your tidy framework of reality is suddenly unsettled by unexpected facts, your “mind is blown.” And suddenly, you see the world very differently.   Resurrection morning created massive cognitive dissonance for the followers of Jesus. They never saw it coming! Not only did they not see it coming, but at first, they couldn’t believe their eyes.   Curiosity is key when cognitive dissonance occurs. John highlights three curious moments from resurrection morning; he wants us to meditate on them so that we might understand the significance of our resurrected Jesus.   The Conscientious Guest: Jesus thoughtfully tidied up after Himself on resurrection morning.

The Mistaken Gardener: Mary is the first one to visit the tomb on Easter Sunday
