And he said to them, "Do not be amazed;
you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,
who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here;
behold, here is the place where they laid Him.
{Mark 16:6}

Easter:: The greatest love story ever told.
A story about the life of a sinless Man
whose only mission is to save
the souls of many sinful men.

On top of the hill Jesus was put on the cross and nails were put through His
hands and feet. The cross was raised up. Two robbers were also put on
crosses, one on either side of Jesus. One of the robbers was feeling very
afraid. Jesus spoke to him and comforted him.

Jesus' mother watched him on the cross. He called to one of his friends to
look after her now. Many people in the crowd were cruel. They said 'You
saved other people, why don't you save yourself now?' At noon darkness
fell on the land. It lasted a few hours. Jesus cried out aloud, 'My God, my
God, why have you abandoned me?' In the sadness and the dark, Jesus died.

At the moment Jesus died, the earth shook. One of the soldiers who had been
keeping guard said 'This man was the Son of God.' Many people began to feel
afraid. Some of the friends of Jesus and his mother waited for permission from
Pontius Pilate to take Jesus down from the cross. They laid the body in a tomb
cut in the rock. The tomb was sealed with a large stone.

Believing him to be the gardener, Mary asked if he knew where Jesus body had
been taken. Jesus said 'Mary, it is I'. Mary was full of joy. Jesus told her to tell
His friends that she had seen him and that he would soon be with his father in
Heaven. Mary ran back to tell all their friends the news. At first not everyone
believed her.

Jesus appeared to the disciples several times. Once, when they had been fishing
on the Sea of Galilee, he called to them from the shore. He asked them if they
had caught many fish. They replied 'Nothing.' Jesus told them to drop their nets
on the right side of the boat. They did this and when they pulled in their nets,
they were full of fish. It was only then that they realised that the man was Jesus.
They came ashore and had a meal of fish with him.

Later Jesus spoke to all of the disciples telling them that once he had left them
they would receive the power of the Holy Spirit. He wanted them to spread
the word of God throughout the world. Jesus was then taken up into heaven.
Two angels appeared and told his friends not to be sad because one day
Jesus would return.

In His Love!
