Jesus’

friends laid

his body in

the tomb,

they rolled

a large

stone over

the

doorway.

• How do you

think Jesus’

friends felt

that

evening?

How do you

think the women

felt when they

saw that the

Savior’s body

was gone?

How do you

think they

felt when

they saw the

angel?

Let’s read from Matthew 28:5–6

what the angel said to the women.

5 And the angel answered and said

unto the women, Fear not ye: for I

know that ye seek Jesus, which was

crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as

he said. Come, see the place where

the Lord lay.

The angel told

the women to

go quickly and

tell the disciples

that Jesus

Christ had risen

from the dead.

The women did go tell the other

disciples, and later the other

disciples saw Jesus. He was alive

again.

How do you think

the disciples felt

when they knew

that Jesus Christ

was alive again?

When Jesus

Christ died, his

spirit left his

physical body

and went to heaven.

After three days,

his spirit came

back into his

physical body

and his physical

body was alive again

• We call this

being resurrected.

Let’s all say

Resurected

Let’s all say it again

Resurected

Jesus was the first of Heavenly

Father’s children to be resurrected.

Because he was resurrected, we will

all be resurrected too.

We may not be resurrected just three

days after we die, as Jesus was, but

someday we will be resurrected.

Let’s listen to a story about

a child who was happy

when she thought about

Jesus Christ and his resurrection.

Carmen liked to play in her yard near

the garden of her neighbor, Brother

Schmidt.

Often while Brother Schmidt worked in

his garden, Carmen would talk to him.

They became good friends.

One day Carmen’s mother told her that

because Brother Schmidt was very old,

he had died.

His spirit had left his physical body, and

his physical body was no longer alive.

Carmen knew she would miss Brother

Schmidt, but her mother reminded her

of the Easter story.

Carmen remembered the story of Jesus’

resurrection.

She knew that Jesus said we would all be

resurrected and live again after we die.

Carmen knew that Brother Schmidt would

be resurrected too.

She was happy that Jesus made it

possible for us to be resurrected.

We refer to the

day Jesus Christ

was resurrected

as the first Easter.

We refer to the

day Jesus Christ

was resurrected

as the first Easter.

All over the world,

people who love

Jesus celebrate

his resurrection on

Easter.

Why do we feel

happy at Easter?

Why do we feel

happy at Easter?

We know that we

and all our loved

ones will be

resurrected as

Jesus was.

What are some

things we can do

to remember

Jesus Christ and

show our

happiness at

Easter time?

Some answers are:

• talking about

Jesus at home

• singing songs

about Jesus with

our families

• having special

Easter lessons,

programs, and

songs at church

Let’s sing a song about Jesus and his

being reserected.

The song is

called

“Did Jesus Really

Live Again”

Did Jesus really live again?

Yes, when the third day came,

He wakened and he left the tomb;

He called Mary’s name.

Did Jesus come to those he loved?

Yes, people touched his feet,

And of the fish and honeycomb

He did truly eat.

And there were nail-prints in his hands

And a spear wound in his side.

Did Jesus really live again

After he had died? Oh yes! And so shall I!
