The Tomb is Empty ... Jesus Lives!



A Spiritual Journey towards faith in Jesus Christ for Children

EASTER SUNDAY - The Tomb is Empty ... Jesus Lives!
Family Scripture Reading:Matthew 28:1-20

Family Discussion Starters:

 

Who were the first to see the empty tomb?
(Mary and Mary)

What do they find at the tomb? What does he say?
(An Angel. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” Matt 28:5-7)

We can rejoice in the fact that Jesus died in our place on the cross then  conquered death when He rose Easter morning! 
He Lives!  Our Savior Lives!

Lent Day 40 Secure the Tomb



A Spiritual Journey towards faith in Jesus Christ for Children

Day 40 - Secure the Tomb
Family Scripture Reading: Matthew 27:62-66


Family Discussion Starters:


What were the chief priests worried would happen?
(They went to Governor Pilate and voiced their concern that Jesus' followers would come and take His body.)

How did Pilate respond to them?
( “Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard." Matt 27:65-66)

Do you think Jesus could be confined to a tomb by a guard?
(No! Jesus is our Almighty Lord and Savior)
