Hope at the empty tomb
Luke 24:1–12 · Retold for children
Early in the morning
After Jesus had died and been laid in a tomb, women who followed him came with spices early on the first day of the week.
The stone is moved
They found the stone rolled away. When they went in, they did not find Jesus’ body. They were puzzled by what had happened.
A message of hope
Two men in shining clothing told them that Jesus was not there but had risen. They reminded the women of words Jesus had spoken.
Telling the others
The women remembered and went to tell the apostles. Peter ran to the tomb and saw the linen cloths. Christians celebrate Jesus’ resurrection at Easter.
