The Story of Easter Sunday
Early on Sunday morning, Mary Magdalen, along with other women, went to visit the tomb of Jesus. To their surprise, the soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the tomb wer not there. They were even more surprised and afraid because the tomb was opened and the body of Jesus disappeared. Mary Magdalen went inside the cave while she was crying. She saw two angels inside. “Why are you crying?” the angels asked her. “Because they have taken away my Lord” she answered. And then another voice behind her said to her, “Mary, why do you cry?”
She turned around and realized that it was Jesus standing behind her. She could not believe her eyes. She went and told the apostles, “I have seen the Lord!” The apostles could not believe it either that Jesus was alive. The great news was too good to be true. As the apostles were gathered together speaking about all of this, Jesus appeared among them and said “Peace be unto you.” As soon as they saw Him, the apostles knew that it was Jesus Himself, their beloved teacher. This was the happiest moment in their life.
At this point, many people in Jerusalem were talking about seeing Jesus. When the news reached the governor, he asked the soldiers what happened. The soldiers said that as they were guarding the tomb of Jesus, an angel came down from heaven and opened the tomb and Jesus rose up from His grave.
Forty days after Easter Sunday, Jesus and His apostles went to the Mount of Olives. He told them, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And remember that I am always with you.” As Jesus said this, He raised His hand and blessed His apostles. Then when Jesus left them, because they remembered His words, “I am always with you”, and they knew that it was true.
