Jesus Makes Breakfast

After Jesus is resurrected, he tells his friends he will meet them at the lake.  When they get there, they go fishing but don't catch anything. Then a man tells them to put their net on the right side of the boat. They catch a lot! Now they know it's Jesus on the shore.  He's there to show them what he wants them to do. Let's see what Jesus does now.

Easter Sunday

Jesus took our punishment on the cross. When he had finished taking all our punishment, he said, "It is finished," and his spirit left his body. He was dead. His friends laid him in a tomb. They rolled a big stone in front of the entrance and posted guards to make sure nobody stole his body. But three days later, his body was gone! What happened?

Jesus Dies for Us

Some of the Jewish leaders were jealous of Jesus. They didn't want people to follow him. If all the people followed Jesus, who would follow them? They wouldn't be important anymore. So they called the guards and had Jesus arrested, even though he didn't do anything wrong. Jesus didn't defend himself. He didn't argue. It was God's plan for Jesus to be the Passover lamb. If Jesus died for us, then we wouldn't have die.

Jesus Before Pilate

Jesus was taken to the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, because the Jewish leaders wanted Jesus to die. Pilate was the one who could have Jesus crucified for them. Pilate questioned Jesus - was Jesus a king? What had Jesus done to deserve death? Was Jesus telling the truth?

Peter Denies Jesus

Jesus had one last meal with his friends before he got arrested. He told his friends that when the guards came for him, they would all run away. But Peter couldn't believe it! He told Jesus he would stay with him, and even die with him. But Jesus knew that Peter would be too scared. Who is right? How much does Peter love Jesus, really?
