Three days after Jesus had died, Jesus’ friends went to see the tomb.

Suddenly, there was a great earthquake! An angel from heaven moved the stone away from the tomb’s opening.

Then he spoke to Jesus’ friends. “Don’t be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus. He isn’t here—He is risen!

Come and see for yourselves”.

They went into the tomb. Jesus was gone!

“Go and tell His disciples that Jesus is risen from the dead,” the angel said. “You will see Jesus on the road.”

Jesus’ friends were so happy and ran to tell the disciples.
