Easter Bonus Session 2
Dear families,
Happy Easter! Today, we celebrate the most important event in history: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. While the Friday before was filled with the sadness of the cross, Sunday brought the miraculous news that changed everything—the tomb is empty, and Jesus is alive!
The resurrection reveals the astounding nature of God’s mercy and grace. It shows us that no one is too far lost to receive God’s forgiveness. When Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, He proved His power over sin and death, making a way for us to be reunited with God through faith.
As the angel told the women at the tomb, “Don’t be afraid! Jesus is alive!” This joy wasn’t just for them; it’s for us today. Because Jesus lives, we can have new life in Him. Everyone who repents and trusts in Jesus is welcomed into God’s family forever.
As you celebrate today, remind your children that Jesus didn’t just die for us—He rose again to lead us. We don’t just worship a historical figure; we follow a living Savior!
