JESUS IS ALIVE!

This Bible story is the best ever good news from God! When he came back to life, Jesus conquered death. Forever. Absolutely.

In the process, Jesus also conquered sin. He took the punishment for the sins of the world on his shoulders on the cross. His death and resurrection have epic significance. No one dies and comes back to life. Just God. Forever. Absolutely.

And all this means we can be in relationship with God. Forever. Absolutely.

If you had heard the story before, have you discovered anything new about it?

If the story was new to you, what is the one big thought you are thinking about it now?

TALKABOUT

Can you find the ‘God moments’ in the story – the moments when you can see God in action? Perhaps when the tomb is empty? When the angels appear? When Mary realises who she is speaking to? Would you like to have been there?

At first Mary did not recognise Jesus. Why was that? Why do many people not realise who Jesus is?

How important is it to you that Jesus is alive? Who will you tell about this story?

TALK WITH GOD TOGETHER

Think quietly about Mary hearing Jesus call her by name. Imagine Jesus calling you by your name. What will you say?

Then, together, shout praises to God that Jesus is alive!

PLAYING GUARDIANS OF ANCORA

Switch on your game device, go to the Spire and select the Bible Quest: ‘Jesus is Alive!’ (tap the ‘game-controller’ icon).

When you take on this Quest, there’s confusion all round. You’re in Jerusalem, three days after Jesus has been arrested, put to death on the cross and then buried. Mary Magdalene has already been to the tomb to find it empty. She’s gone back to tell Jesus’ other friends, and two of them are on their way to see for themselves. While she’s doing that, the Guildmaster has joined Fabula – and you – in the greatest story ever told!

BEFORE YOU GO

You’re coming towards the end of these devotions now but that doesn’t mean you have to stop playing Guardians of Ancora! There are more Bible Quests, quizzes, videos, and Bible verses. Make your own prayers in the Creative Hub and share them with others.

Keep bringing the light of the stories back to the city – and you will be a true Guardian of Ancora!
