Someone else loves us very much and was willing to do something for us that we could not do for ourselves.

Who is it?

Before we came to this earth, Jesus Christ offered to be our Savior. That meant he was willing to die and be resurrected so that we could live again and return to our Father in Heaven. Jesus was the only person with the power to do this for us. We could not do it for ourselves.

Easter

Jesus was placed on the cross sometime before noon. At noon the sun was hidden from view, and darkness spread over the land for three hours Christ’s pain was more terrible than we could stand. Christ could have chosen not to suffer and die, but he had promised Heavenly Father that he would come to earth and suffer and die for us.

The earth trembled and shook. Those who were watching in the darkness heard Jesus cry out, “It is finished” (John 19:30). His suffering had ended. He bowed his head and died. His spirit left his body.

How do you think Jesus’ friends and disciples felt after Jesus was crucified?

Jesus’ friends and disciples carefully removed his body from the cross. They wrapped his body in fine linen cloth with spices, as was the custom in those days.

For three days Jesus’ body was in the tomb. Early on the third day, which was Sunday, the earth trembled and shook again.

An angel came down from heaven and rolled back the stone from the door of the tomb.

An angel came down from heaven and rolled back the stone from the door of the tomb. What happened to the people who were guarding the tomb?

On that same Sunday morning Mary Magdalene, a follower of Jesus, and another woman visited the tomb. They wanted to put some ointment and spices on the body of Jesus (this was a custom of the time). When they came near the tomb, they could see that the stone had been rolled away. The tomb was empty. Jesus’ body was gone.

The women saw the angel, who told them not to be afraid.

Jesus Christ appeared to some of his followers after he was resurrected. The first person he appeared to was Mary Magdalene. Mary was by the tomb crying when Jesus came to her.

How do you think Mary felt to see Jesus and know that he was alive again?

13 ¶And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. 22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

The two disciples hurried to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples they had seen Jesus. As they were telling the others about what had happened, Jesus appeared.

36 ¶And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

Jesus also asked for some food to eat. He ate the food to show the disciples that his physical body of flesh and bones had been joined with his spirit again into a resurrected body.

Jesus Christ, our Savior, promised that all people could live again after they die. Each of us will be resurrected just as Jesus was and have a wonderful resurrected body like his. Because he loves us, Jesus made this possible.
