Resurrection Day

Instructions

This is a short animation of Jesus' Cross and his tomb. Jesus was unjustly crucified and killed, but he rose from the dead, because "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23) He did this to cleanse us for our sins because “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Here are some excerpts from Mark 15 and 16 about the Crucifixion and Resurrection! Mark 15: 24-27 Then the soldiers nailed Him to the cross. It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him. A sign announced the charge against him. It read, “The King of the Jews.” Two revolutionaries were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. Mark 15: 43, 46-47 As evening approached, Joseph of Arimathea took a risk and went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Joseph bought a long sheet of linen cloth. Then he took Jesus’ body down from the cross, wrapped it in the cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone in front of the entrance. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where Jesus’ body was laid. Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on Sunday morning, just at sunrise, they went to the tomb. 3 On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside. Mark 16: 1-8 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked, but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body. Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.” Thank you to Jesus for dying for my sins.
