The death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ 

Jesus Christ was betrayed by one of His disciples named Judas Iscariot .Judas betrayed Jesus Christ with a kiss. 

Jesus was killed by crucifixion at a place called The Skull. Crucifixion is a type of death whereby a person

is killed by tying him to a cross and nail him or her and leaving the person  to die. Death by crucifixion was one of the worst ways to

be killed. And this was the way Jesus was killed.But while Jesus hanged on the cross, he prayed and asked

God to forgive the people who crucified him and those who were laughing at him, because he said they did

not know what they were doing.

Two strange things happened. The first one happened at about 12 o’clock

in the afternoon. The sun stopped shining; everywhere became very dark until 3 o’clock when the second

one happened.

At that hour, the curtain in the temple was torn from the top to the bottom. Then Jesus

screamed, ‘Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!’ Having said that Jesus died.Very early on Sunday

morning, some women who were Jesus’ followers went to the tomb where Jesus’ body had been placed.

They were carrying spices and perfumes to put on his body to prepare it for burial. When they reached the

tomb, they saw that the big stone which was used to cover the tomb had been rolled aside and the tomb was open. They looked inside but did not see Jesus’ body lying down there. Instead, they saw two angels standing in the tomb. The women were very afraid, but the angels told them that Jesus was no longer dead. He was alive!

The women then remembered the things Jesus had told them about how he would suffer death and on the third day, rise from the dead.

Evidence of Jesus’ resurrection

After Jesus rose from the dead, the first person that saw him was Mary Magdalene. Jesus spoke to her and then sent her to tell his disciples that he was alive. That same evening, the disciples were in a locked room because they were afraid of the Jews. Suddenly, they saw Jesus standing among them. At first, they were scared. But Jesus spoke peace to them and showed them where the nails had pierced his hands and his sides. When they saw that it was really Jesus and not a ghost, they were very glad.

Importance of Jesus’ death and resurrection

Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, anyone who repents of their sins can receive forgiveness, no matter what they did wrong. We can also call God our Father and our God because Jesus has made us children of God. Because of his death and resurrection, we can be sure of eternal life.
