The Empty Tomb

Illustration

Illustration — not a historical photograph

On Friday, Jesus died on a cross. His friends were very sad.

On Sunday morning, some women went to His tomb. But the stone was rolled away — and Jesus was not there!

An angel said, ‘He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.’ Jesus was alive. Death could not hold Him.

What we learn

Jesus is alive. Because He lives, we can live with Him forever.

Memory verse

'He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.' — Matthew 28:6

For parents

This is the heart of the Christian faith. Reassure your child that everything Christians believe rests on the reality of Jesus' resurrection.
