The Resurrection

He Is Risen! Death Is Defeated!

The Story

Matthew 28, Luke 24

It was the darkest time the disciples had ever known. Jesus — their friend, teacher, and Lord — had died on a cross. They buried Him in a tomb and sealed it with a huge stone.

Early Sunday morning, some of the women went to the tomb to bring spices. But when they got there, something was wrong — the stone had been rolled away!

An angel appeared, shining bright as lightning. 'Don't be afraid!' he said. 'You are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He isn't here! He has risen, just as He said!'

The women ran to tell the disciples. Then Jesus appeared to His followers — alive! He showed them His hands and feet. Jesus had conquered death! He really was the Son of God, and His promise of eternal life was real!
