This week there is a set of Resurrection Task Cards with ideas on how to use them. Also, a Resurrection Mini Book in color and black & white. That is just the printables for this lesson!
Last week we studied Jesus and the
trials that He went through. We also looked at some of the things that happened
to Jesus while He was on the cross. Today, we are going to talk about what happened
after Jesus died. These facts are found in Matthew 27:57-28:15; Mark 15:42-16:13;
Luke 23:50-24:48; John 19:38-20:31.
Joseph of Arimathea was a rich man, a
council member and a follower of Jesus. (Mark 15:43) Joseph asked Pilate if he could have the body of
Jesus. Pilate said yes, and Joseph bought fine linen and took Jesus down from
the cross. (Mark 15:46) Nicodemus also helped Joseph. He brought about 100 pounds of myrrh and aloes. (John 19:39) They wrapped Jesus in strips of linen with the spices, and laid Jesus in a new tomb.
The tomb was in the garden where Jesus had been crucified and was cut out of rock. (John 19:41) A stone was rolled in front of the opening. Mary and Mary Magdalene watched to see where Jesus was buried.
At dawn on the first day of the week, which is Sunday, while it‘s still dark, the first day of the week, several women that were friends of Jesus, headed for the tomb. (John 20:1) The women were wondering how they were going to move the stone that was blocking the door. They wanted to put spices that they brought with them on the body of Jesus. (Mark 16:1-3)
There was a great earthquake and an angel came down from Heaven! The angel was glowing and had white clothes on. The angel rolled back the stone and sat on it! The guards were so scared that they passed out! (Matthew 28:3-4)
When the women arrived at the tomb, they saw the stone was already moved and when they went into the tomb, they found it empty. An angel was inside and told the women not to be afraid. He knew that they were looking for Jesus and he told them that Jesus wasn’t there because He had arisen. They could come and see where He had been laying
Next week we will study Jesus meeting with His Disciples and Jesus returning to Heaven.
