Comeback: An Easter Devotional for Kids ಮಾದರಿ

He Is Risen!

By the Calvary Kids Team

Happy Easter! Today is the day we celebrate that Jesus came back from the dead and is alive; he rose again! Yesterday we learned that Jesus was dead and was buried in a tomb. But today we get to CELEBRATE that Jesus is stronger than death! Let’s recap this past week with a couple of questions!

Mark 16:1–6 (NIRV)

"The Sabbath day ended. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices. They were going to use them for Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, they were on their way to the tomb. It was just after sunrise. They asked each other, 'Who will roll the stone away from the entrance to the tomb?" Then they looked up and saw that the stone had been rolled away. The stone was very large. 5 They entered the tomb. As they did, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe. He was sitting on the right side. They were alarmed. 'Don’t be alarmed,' he said. 'You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. But he has risen! He is not here! See the place where they had put him.'"

1. What city did Jesus come to for all this to happen? (Hint: It starts with a "J")
2. When Jesus ate dinner with His disciples, He said that the bread they were eating and the wine they were drinking represented what two things?
3. The Bible tells us the consequence for sin, or disobeying God, is what? Who took the consequence that we deserved?
4. After Jesus had been dead for three days, what happened that we celebrate today?

1 Corinthians 15:14-19 (NIRV)

"And if Christ has not been raised, what we preach doesn’t mean anything. Your faith doesn’t mean anything either. More than that, we would be lying about God. We are witnesses that God raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if the dead are not raised. If the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith doesn’t mean anything. Your sins have not been forgiven. Those who have died believing in Christ are also lost. Do we have hope in Christ only for this life? Then people should pity us more than anyone else."

We hope that you have an awesome Easter and are so happy that God has saved you from the consequence of your sins because of Jesus! Jesus is our King forever, and nothing can stop Him or His plans! Happy Easter, and we’ll see you later!
