Lesson 15

The Risen Jesus

  • When Jesus died, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, one of the Jewish leaders, took Jesus' body down from
    the cross and buried in a tomb. They placed a big stone at the entrance of the tomb.
     
    Those who crucified Jesus were afraid that the disciples of Jesus would take His body away unnoticed. Hence, they entrusted some soldiers to guard the tomb. On Sunday, the third day of His death, early at dawn, some pious women came to the tomb with incense and perfumes. The door of the tomb was open.
     
    The women saw two angels in the tomb (John 20:12). The angels said to the women that Jesus is risen. Later Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene. After that Jesus appeared to His disciples. He said to them: “Peace be with you”.
     
     

     

    We celebrate Easter in commemoration of of the resurrection of Jesus.
     
    On the 40th day of His resurrection Jesus appeared to the disciples again. He lifted up His arms and blessed them.
    After that Jesus ascended into heaven and disappeared.
     
     
    Jesus died and resurrected for us. His resurrection is the proof that Jesus is the Son of God. Let us confess with faith that
    Jesus is our Lord and God. Let us all strive to reach God the Father in heaven through Jesus who ascended into heaven.

    On us men, everlasting, glorious
    Resurrection you bestow;

    And your life in us restore
