Jesus Rises from the Dead

Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20

On the third day, Jesus rose — just as He said He would.

The Story

On the third day after Jesus died, Mary Magdalene went to His tomb before sunrise. The great stone was rolled away, and the tomb was empty! An angel said, 'Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He is risen, as He said!' Jesus appeared to Mary in the garden. He appeared to the apostles that night. Jesus had conquered death forever.

The Lesson

Jesus' love is stronger than death. Because He rose, we know that death is not the end for those who belong to Him.
