How could the Father tell the world of love and tenderness? He sent his Son, a newborn babe, with peace and holiness.

How could the Father show the world the pathway we should go? He sent his Son to walk with men on earth, that we may know. How could the Father tell the world of sacrifice, of death?

He sent his Son to die for us and rise with living breath. What does the Father ask of us? What do the scriptures say? Have faith, have hope, live like his Son, help others on their way. What does he ask? Live like his Son. Words: Mabel Jones Gabbott, b. 1910 Music: Michael Finlinson Moody, b. 1941 © 1982 by Mabel Jones Gabbott and Michael Finlinson Moody.

“Lesson 33: The Resurrection of Jesus Christ,” Primary 7: New Testament, 112



Imagine that it is early on the Sunday morning following the crucifixion and burial of Jesus.  Imagine that you are with the disciples, who are grieving Jesus’ death.





They had hoped that Jesus would save them from Roman rule and establish His kingdom on the earth in power and glory. But now He is dead.



In our lesson today, we are going to discuss what happened that Sunday morning in Jerusalem.

Even though Jesus had told His disciples many times that He would live again after He had died, His followers had not really understood what He meant.  Never before had anyone been resurrected, and they did not understand how Jesus would live again. 



Even when His disciples heard from angels that Jesus had risen from the dead and saw the risen Lord, it was still hard for them to realize what had happened.

“New Testament Scripture Stories,” Chapter 54

The Savior’s body was in the tomb until Sunday morning.  Then two angels came and rolled the stone away from the tomb. 



A woman whom Jesus had healed named Mary Magdalene went to the tomb.

Mary was surprised to see that the stone had been moved. Jesus’s body was not in the tomb.  She ran to tell Peter and John that someone had taken the Savior’s body. She did not know where it was. 

Peter

and John ran to the tomb. They found the cloth Jesus had been buried in, but Jesus’s body was not there. Peter and John did not know what to do. They went home.

 Mary

Magdalene stayed by the tomb, crying. When she looked into the tomb again, she saw two angels.  They asked her why she was crying. She said someone had taken Jesus’s body away.

She

turned around and saw someone. She thought it was the gardener. He asked her why she was crying. She asked Him if He knew where Jesus’s body was. Then

the man said, “Mary,” and she knew it was Jesus.

 He

asked her to tell the Apostles that He was resurrected.  Mary Magdalene and some other women told the Apostles that Jesus had been resurrected.  At

first the Apostles did not believe them.

Later,

while the Apostles were talking to each other, Jesus came into the room.

The

Apostles were afraid. They

still thought He was dead.

The

Savior told them to touch His hands and feet. He was resurrected. His body and spirit had come together again.

The

Apostles were happy to see Him. He asked them for food. They gave Him fish and a honeycomb. He ate it.

Jesus

Christ was the first person to be resurrected. Many others were then resurrected and seen by people living in Jerusalem.

Jesus

had said, “I am the resurrection, and the life.”

Because

He overcame death, we will all be resurrected someday.
