Jesus is Alive! John 20:1-18
Bible Story Brief -
• Early in the morning, Mary Magdalene walked toward a garden outside Jerusalem. She was sad. Jesus had died on the cross. Mary Magdalene was going to see the tomb where Jesus had been buried for three days. When she arrived at the tomb, she saw that the big heavy stone had been rolled away from the opening.The tomb was empty!
• Mary ran to find Peter and John, two of Jesus’ disciples. “They have taken Jesus from the tomb,” Mary said. “I don’t know where they have put Him!” Peter and John ran to the tomb and looked inside. They saw pieces of cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ body. Jesus was gone.
• Peter and John went home, but Mary Magdalene stood near the tomb, crying. Mary bent over to look inside the tomb again. She saw two angels sitting where Jesus’ body had been. “Why are you crying?” the angels asked. “Someone took Jesus away. I don’t know where He is,” she replied.
• Mary Magdalene turned around and saw a man standing nearby.“Why are you crying? For whom are you looking?” He asked. Mary thought the man was the gardener. She said, “If you’ve taken Jesus away, please tell me where He is.”
• “Mary,” the man said. She knew that voice. The man was Jesus! Jesus said, “Go and tell My disciples you have seen Me.” Mary Magdalene ran and found the disciples. She said, “I have seen Jesus! He is alive!”
