He Is Risen

In this lessons we aim to teach our children how Jesus conquered the curse of sin and death by the power of His own death and resurrection.

Crucifixion: The brutal punishment and execution method in which a person is nailed to a cross and then left die slowly. Jesus was crucified for our sins, He was beaten so we could be whole, and He suffered so we could be healed. He died for our salvation.

The Temple Veil: A physical divider that separated the temple in two: the Holy of Holies, the place where God dwelled, and the rest of the temple where men were allowed. Only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies, and then only once a year on Yom Kippur. When Jesus died, God Himself ripped the veil in two, from top to bottom. Jesus’ death on the cross ended our separation from God, making a relationship with Him possible for the first time since sin entered the world.

Resurrection: When a dead person comes back to life. After Jesus died on the cross and was buried, He rose again on the third day; this is known as His resurrection. Jesus has the power over death, so we don’t have to be afraid of it.
