In three days He will Rise

But the first day

He will be mocked and beaten

Suffer for our sins

His chosen people will cast stones on Him

Will persecute Him

Will nail Him on the Cross

And crucify Him

There hanging on the cross is The King of Jews

Even in pain and suffering He gasps for air and says, “Father, Forgive them; for they know not what they do.”

Even in agony He offered them forgiveness

One of the thieves that mocked Him on the Cross had a change of heart

“We are being punished justly. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

He answers, “Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.”

Darkness came into the land until three of the afternoon

The curtain of the temple was torn in two

In His last breath He said, “Father into your hands I commit my spirit.”

With that He gave His last breath

At that moment He died for our sins, not just mine but all of us

His apostles hid out of fear

He was taken from the cross with no broken bones and wrapped in linen and placed in the tomb

The 2nd day was the Sabbath so they rested

The women the 3rd day took spices and perfume to the tomb

But when they arrived, the tomb stone was rolled away and they could not find Him

Suddenly two men in clothes that shined brightly appeared before them

They said, “Why do you look for the living amongst the dead? He is not here; he has risen”

The women went off to tell the eleven apostles and the others

But they did not believe them

Peter ran to the tomb to find it empty

Doubt crossed their mind

Mary Magdalene stood at the tomb crying

She saw two angels in white asking her why are you crying

She says, “If you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

He responds, “Mary.”

She turns toward Him and says, “Rabonni.”

Which means teacher

She told the disciples she had seen the Lord

In the evening He appeared in front of the disciples saying, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

With that He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

Thomas wasn’t with the disciples and doubted and had to see for himself

He appeared to Thomas and said, “Put your finger here, see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

“Because you have seen, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

He appeared again when some of disciples went fishing

Saying, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.”

They did and they were unable to lift the net because of the large number of fish

They instantly knew that was the Messiah

He made them breakfast and told Peter three times, “Simon do you love me.”

Peter responded, “Yes Lord, you know that I love you.”

“Feed my sheep,” He said three times

This hurt Peter because he denied Him three times

He said, “Follow me.”

When He was ready to leave the disciples and His followers raised His hands and blessed them

He was then taken up to heaven and ascended to be with His Father

You may ask who is this Messiah that I highly speak of

His Name is Jesus of Nazareth

Born in a manger in Bethlehem

Was sent to the earth to bring Salvation

To die on the cross for our sins

And has risen

Jesus had risen

What a powerful Name it is

The Name of Jesus

He brought us the Holy Spirit

That lives in us when we accept Him into your life

So stop doubting and start believing

Say this prayer

Dear Jesus

I have sinned and I am a sinner

I ask for Your forgiveness

I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead

I leave my sins away

And accept you into my heart and my life

I want to trust You as my Lord and my Savior

I believe you are the son of God

Jesus Christ

Fill me with the Holy Spirit

Guide me and help me live for You for the rest of my days

Your blood paid for my sins

Thank you for being my Savior

I love You and want a relationship with You

Amen

You are now a Christian

He called you to be a disciple

Your new

You are now baptized in the Holy Spirit

God is three in one

God the Father

Jesus Christ the Son

And the Holy Spirit

The divine trinity

God is good

That He gave His only Son for our sins

We have much to be thankful for

So I cry out

He has risen

He has risen

He has risen

On the third day
