Back From the Dead?

You may have heard about the cross,
High up on Calvary’s hill.
But do you remember what happened next?
Listen if you will!

It had been three days.
Jesus was gone.
The disciples wondered,
“What went wrong?

“We believed in Him,
That He was God!
And now He’s buried,
Dead and gone.”

Then suddenly, the door flew open!
Mary rushed inside.
“Guys, listen, listen! You’ve got to believe:
Jesus is alive!”

It was hard to believe.
Could this be true?
Back from the dead?
Nobody knew.

So Peter and John ran to the tomb.
The stone was rolled back.
They stepped inside and looked around.
The body was gone–it was a fact!

For forty days, Jesus appeared,
In a secret room and on the road.
“I’m alive,” He said.
“And I’m going home.

“But I’ll be back,
I’ll come and get you.
You can believe me,
All I’ve said is true.”

Do you believe Jesus? In your own words explain what happened three days after Jesus died. Now that He’s alive, does He live in your heart? Are you excited for Him to come back for you?
