Resurrection

God Raised Him

"Whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death."
Acts 2:24

Reflection

Death tried to hold Jesus and could not. It was like trying to trap the wind in a box. God’s power is greater than everything.

Prayer

God, nothing is too strong for You. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Why couldn't death hold Jesus?
  2. Who raised Jesus from the dead?
  3. What does that show about God's power?

5-minute activity

Try to trap air in a paper bag and keep it closed while squeezing. It always escapes! Talk about how death could not hold Jesus. Read Acts 2:22-24.
